A child's visual system develops rapidly from birth until approximately age 7 to 8. During this critical window, if a child suffers from uncorrected refractive errors (high plus, minus, or cylinder), an eye turn (squint), or a cloudy lens, the brain's visual pathways fail to develop normally.
This leads to Amblyopia (lazy eye), where sight remains permanently suppressed even with glasses in adulthood. Because young children rarely complain of blurred vision - assuming what they see is normal - timely screening at Drishti Eye Clinic in Jammu protects their academic, athletic, and cognitive development.
