It is never too soon to make certain that your baby’s vision is developing properly. Baby eye problems are not just ignorable. There are always signs and symptoms for the odd chance that your baby may have a problem. Most infants have no serious or detrimental eye problems, but there are a few situations where you may need to have your baby’s eyes checked. There is no certain age a baby has to be to receive a full eye exam, so do not wait for your baby to get older.
As always, the sooner a problem is discovered the sooner it can be treated.
Infants eye problems -baby eye care
Your baby will actually get his first eye exam in the hospital nursery, by a doctor who will check for unusual abnormalities, eye infections, malformed eyelids, cataracts and glaucoma.
Your baby’s eyes are still weak and immature. They are sensitive to the sun and too much light. Snow blindness, cataracts … are dangers which may befall his/her eyes.
Eye exams to more than 1,000 kids between the ages of two and a half years and six years.
The study
In total, between 6 and 7% of those kids had visual impairment in at least one eye, and almost 3% had problems in both eyes.
Astigmatism, which causes blurred vision, was the most common eye problem, affecting half of kids with impairment. Farsightedness and lazy eye – when the eye has trouble making out details – were the next most common.
