Early diagnosis of congenital eye diseases is essential for preventing long-term vision problems. Some common diagnostic methods include:
Newborn Eye Screening: Routine eye examinations performed shortly after birth can help identify visible anomalies. Ophthalmoscopy: A detailed examination of the retina and other parts of the eye using a special instrument called an ophthalmoscope. Ultrasound: Imaging techniques can help detect structural abnormalities in the eye. Genetic Testing: Identifying specific genetic mutations can aid in diagnosing inherited conditions.
