My kid's eyeball size is quite big.What could it be?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I reviewed your history.

• It seems from the history that your kid is having myopia (short sight).

• In myopia the eyeball size will be larger and no need to be worried about it.

• Since his retina is good he will do well.

• This is a commonly seen problem in children.

• This requires treatment with spectacles now.

• This myopia is known to increase as the age increases.

• The progression of myopia can be reduced by wearing of spectacles, increased intake of vitamin A rich foods like green leafy vegetables and carrot.

• The presence of swinging movement indicates presence of nystagmus (involuntary eye movement resulting in reduced vision) and this also requires evaluation.

• Hence I advice you to consult an ophthalmologist, one who is well trained in treating childhood problems and get a clinical evaluation done.

Do write back to an eye care ophthalmologist online after consulting your pediatric ophthalmologist so that we can plan the next treatment --> https://www.icliniq.com/ask-a-doctor-online/eye-care-ophthalmologist
