Did you know? People the information they need to nearly 90% are obtained through the eyes. However, we found that young parents to the health of your baby’s eyes, far less concern about the health of your baby. In fact, there are many eye missed the best time for treatment of childhood, the child will bring his regrets for life.
Q: As the parents do not understand ophthalmology, how can we know whether or not the health of your baby’s eyes?
- Your baby is healthy eyes, in addition to any obvious observation usually accompanied by other eye diseases and the corresponding anomalies, key is to see whether the normal visual acuity. Young parents under the following circumstances, the preliminary judge for baby eyes: eyes to the normal monitor, capture and monitor the objectives of the action is accurate, does not see things Waitoushan not squinting during the day and night to see no distinction between East and West, the size of two symmetric eye is not inclined, flexible and free movement, no more tears, or the phenomenon of (if it can not be suddenly opened his eyes, coupled with more tears, crying, etc., we must take note), under normal circumstances, the white of the eye is not red ( hyperemia), cornea (black eyes) black, under the pupil smaller in bright light, the pupil area of deep black color. If your baby’s eyes above an anomaly, it should check the diagnosis and treatment of the hospital in time.
In addition, the following should be noted that when your baby’s eyes: he was born in the box on the warm oxygen (such as premature babies, etc.), family history of hereditary or contagious eye disease eyes (including sexually transmitted diseases, etc.), allergic Eye history and so on; fetal mothers have high fever, allergies, or have too much to accept medical examination (such as X-ray, ultrasound, etc.) as well as the blind use, alcoholism, excessive smoking and poisoning. If the baby is too large or the eye is too small, dull eyes, the normal distance of the toys do not reflect that the baby’s eyes may also be a problem.
Sometimes unusual baby visual appearance is not shown, in particular abnormal monocular. There is a simple way, parents may wish to try: a baby’s eyes will be covered, if the baby does not respond, while there may be a problem over eyes; and if the baby noises and refused to cover eyes, then cover the baby was eyes with normal vision.
Q: your baby’s vision with you as adults?
- Development of infant visual function in a step-by-step process: the feeling of Youguang neonatal period (when the light stimulus will be closed); one month to have their eyes light up action; 6 weeks will keep the light ( light source), the eye is able to exercise; 4 to 8 weeks if things around the eyes, will be protective of conditioned reflex, the blink of an eye; 4 to 5 months to have something hand-to-destination, to identify the color and shape of objects, can understand the mother; 6 to 8 months later, the eye movement and depth perception (three-dimensional sense) to start development; 1 ~ 1.5 years old, a collection of normal eye function monitor; 3 years of age, vision can be achieved at or near 1.0. Often less than 1.0 for low vision, children with low vision often does not mean that visual abnormalities, most of which live a rational (because the visual development of a process of continuous improvement), a small number for pathological, that is, as a result of eye disease caused abnormal vision. If your baby with low vision often, the best doctor can also check to clear the nature of. Here to emphasize that the age of 6 years and treatment of eye disease is found in the best period.
Question: how will baby a “cross-eye,” it must be treated?
- “Cross-eye” medically known as esotropia, mostly physical in nature. 3 years of age as a result of the baby in order to see near objects, eye must be adjusted as a result of too much regulation of power, made eye adduction, and the resulting performance for esotropia - “cross-eye.”
Strabismus and pathological Yousheng of rational points: intermittent exotropia appears (from time to time), alternating eyes, eye movement and flexible, the angle of strabismus is not, then many of the physiological; If strabismus persists, fixed an eye movement not flexible, large angle strabismus, and more and more obvious, often the pathological. And performance levels for exotropia or strabismus, and an eye.
Physiological treatment of strabismus do not have, with the baby’s growth, improve the regulatory function of eyes will be back to normal on its own. However, parents should always pay attention to changes in your baby’s eyes, there are questions that should be on
Hospital follow-up review. Do not blindly believe in the “still small, such as children grow up to talk about” preaching. Pathological strabismus must be corrected as soon as possible, we should first check to determine the nature and diagnosis of the cause. Typically, strabismus is the result of a variety of reasons and, if refractive errors (mainly in hyperopic eyes), and more with amblyopia. Therefore, early detection, early treatment of the baby has an important significance of the eyes. Parents with babies to go to the hospital to check, it is desirable to provide the following information: when the baby appears strabismus, the degree of strabismus, usually whether or not changes in the availability of incentives (such as photographs, depending on the material too close, etc.). Let your baby’s doctor to determine the correct strabismus is pathological or physiological, in order to correct diagnosis, and will not be mistaken for pathological physiology of strabismus strabismus, delayed the best time for treatment. Parents should actively cooperate with the doctor for the baby eye for inspection, on the one hand, your baby’s understanding of the exact refractive conditions conducive to eye at the same time carry out inspections, and physiological eye baby after strabismus often squint would be better . Pathological strabismus can be corrected in general, a number of means, ophthalmologist treatment can make the right design, such as wearing glasses and visual function training. For individual children and, if necessary, surgical correction can be.
