Ensuring Healthy Eyes: The Importance of Pediatric Red Glow Eye Exams

Many pediatricians refer young children to us for an eye exam to check for a red glow. This technique involves using an ophthalmoscope to shine light into the eye. The light travels through the cornea and lens, reflecting back from the retina. A bright, orangish-red glow indicates a healthy eye. However, a dull glow or black shadow suggests a potential issue that needs further evaluation. This method helps us ensure children's eye health.
