What are the Challenges in Conducting Ophthalmic Examinations in Neonates?
Conducting ophthalmic examinations in neonates can be challenging due to their small size, limited cooperation, and fragile health status. Some specific challenges include:
- Difficulty in maintaining the neonate's head in a fixed position. - Ensuring adequate dilation of the pupils for a thorough examination. - Managing the stress and discomfort experienced by the neonate during the examination.
