Abstract
Google Trends data were analyzed to assess search trends for pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus terms from 2010 to 2022. The highest average search volumes were "lazy eye," "strabismus," and "vision therapy." "Amblyopia" had the lowest search volume. These data highlight the importance of understanding the utilization of online resources in health care and patient education. [J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2024;61(4):e39-e42.].
