Pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus in India: Wake-up call and the way forward!

Abstract

Children require support in recognizing eye problems and hence screening becomes essential. [...]their eye issues need to be tackled at the earliest for treatment to be effective. [...]the onus of optimum and efficient care, purely lies in our hands. [...]good fellowship programs, inspiring role models in POS, and the massive demand for children's eye care in India should motivate future ophthalmology residents/postgraduates to join this subspecialty in the years to come thereby making a positive impact on the current status of POS specialty in India. 1.
