Strabismus- a defect in In ocular alignment, or the position of the eyes in relation to each other; It is commonly
called lazy eye. And strabismus, the visual axes are not parallel because the muscles of the eyes are not
coordinated; When one eye is directed straight ahead, the other deviates.
Retinoblastoma is an intraocular tumor that develops in the retina. Although it is rare, this malignant retinal
tumor is the most common tumor in childhood (some 4% of cancers in children younger than 15 years of age)

• there is a decreased visual acuity uni- or bilateral white pupil (leukocoria), described often as
an intermittent “glow, glint, gleam, or glare” by parents, is usually seen in low light settings or

Bulbar or palpebral conjunctival injection is a common presentation, which can be unilateral or bilateral.
differential diagnosis should include allergy, conjunctivitis, infection, foreign body, chemical exposure,
or systemic inflammatory disease, irritation of the conjunctiva or cornea, and congenital glaucoma.
Watery discharge can occur with allergies, nasolacrimal obstruction, foreign bodies, viral infection, and iritis.
Purulent or mucoid discharge can be noted with chronic dacrocystitis or nasolacrimal obstruction.
Advanced allergic conjunctivitis can have some mucoid production.
To differentiate, microscopic investigation of discharge may lead to other clues.
Photophobia is a symptom common of trauma and in infants with glaucoma or retinal disease. Other non-eye
related causes of photophobia include migraines and meningitis.
A white pupil, or leukocoria is a serious finding and demands immediate referral to the pediatric
ophthalmologist.
Causes of leukocoria include retinal detachment, cataract, retinal dysplasia, retinopathy of prematurity, and in
newborns retinoblastoma.
All newborns should have a fundoscopic examination within 24 hours of birth and yearly on physical
examinations.
