Eye Pain in Children Doctors in Malta

Eye pain in children can result from a corneal abrasion, foreign body, infection such as conjunctivitis or keratitis, uveitis, or raised pressure within the eye, and should always be taken seriously. An ophthalmologist can examine the eye under magnification, measure intraocular pressure, and identify the cause of pain, providing appropriate treatment such as antibiotic drops, anti-inflammatory medication, or pressure-lowering treatment. Children may not always be able to clearly describe eye pain so parental vigilance regarding eye rubbing, redness, or avoidance of light is important.
