Children with strabismus (crossed eyes) can be treated. They are not able to outgrow this condition on their own, but with help, it can be more easily corrected at a younger age. It is important for infants to have eye examinations as early as possible in their development and then another at age 2 years.
Medication errors are three times higher among children and infants than with adults.
The B-complex vitamins and vitamin C are not stored in the body and must be replaced each day.
