Abstract

Eye complaints in children can differ significantly from those seen in adults. Not only is there the challenge in performing a complete ophthalmic examination, which can vary in success based on age and cooperation, but also knowing when to refer to the emergency department or to an ophthalmologist. These secrets will help improve a practitioner’s comfort level and also cover some of the common pitfalls one may encounter when managing pediatric ophthalmic problems in the urgent care setting.
