Hello,
Thank you for sharing your concerns in such detail. I can understand how worrying it must be to notice unusual eye movements and visual behaviors in your little one, especially when he already has developmental delays and a history of Dengue Shock Syndrome during infancy.
First, I would like to reassure you that you have taken the right step by consulting a pediatric ophthalmologist. The dilated eye examination is very important because it will help determine the exact refractive error (eye power) and whether spectacles are required.
Regarding refractive errors, they are quite common in children and can cause behaviors such as looking from the corners of the eyes, moving the eyes in unusual ways, squinting, sitting very close to screens, or holding objects unusually close. The need for spectacles depends on the degree of refractive error and your child's visual development. Some children may need glasses for several years, while in others the power may change as they grow.
Concerning Dengue Shock Syndrome during infancy, refractive errors are generally not considered a direct consequence of dengue infection. However, because your child had a significant illness early in life along with developmental delays, it is worthwhile to evaluate his overall neurological and developmental progress in addition to the eye assessment.
The eye drops prescribed by the ophthalmologist (Moxicip-D, Moxicip, and Pataone) are commonly used medications for eye infections, inflammation, or allergic conditions. When prescribed by a pediatric eye specialist and used according to instructions, they are generally considered safe for children. Please continue them exactly as advised.
From a homeopathic perspective, while homeopathy can replace spectacles when a significant refractive error is present, it will also be helpful in supporting the child's overall health, immunity, recurrent allergies, eye-rubbing tendencies, constitutional weaknesses, developmental concerns, and associated behavioral symptoms. Homeopathic treatment focuses on the child as a whole rather than only the eye findings.
In my practice, when assessing children with developmental delays, I evaluate:
⢠Pregnancy and birth history
⢠Milestone development
⢠Speech and language development
⢠Social interaction and behavior
⢠Sleep patterns
⢠Food preferences and sensitivities
⢠Recurrent infections or allergies
⢠Family history
⢠Emotional and constitutional characteristics
Based on the complete picture, an individualized homeopathic prescription may help support the child's overall development and well-being .
To guide you better, I would like to know:
⢠What type of developmental delay has been diagnosed?
⢠Has he had speech delay, autism evaluation, occupational therapy, or developmental pediatric assessment?
⢠Does he make good eye contact?
⢠Is he able to recognize people and objects normally?
⢠Does he frequently rub his eyes or seem sensitive to light?
⢠Have you noticed any squinting or crossing of the eyes?
⢠What were his developmental milestones such as sitting, walking, and speech?
if you are intrested you can consult online, you can check our google reviews,
