We see that often
Many parents want to make their babies happy
Lots of little colourful toys hang at the head of the bed
These toys are too close to the baby when they are stationary for a long time
It's been a long time
Your baby's eyes rotate toward the middle for a longer period of time
This eventually leads to esotropia
That is what we often hear about the eye-to-eye/cockfighting eye.....
"The baby's eye and visual function are gradually maturing,
It will take about 6 years to develop well."
Babies are born into the world and explore the world with great curiosity. Many colorful toy colors can indeed stimulate the baby's visual development and enhance the cognitive ability of color.
But when the baby stares at a place for a long time, close up, and fixed, especially when the toy is hanging on the left or right side of the baby and is very close, these conspicuous and bright objects can easily attract the baby's attention.
But at this time, most babies do not have the ability to turn over, need to use a relatively large eye turn to see the object, it may break the fusion of the eyes, and for a long time to look in one direction, is not conducive to the parallel development of the two eyes, it is easy to cause strabismus or amblyopia.
Baby's eyes
Newborns' eyes are extremely delicate, the optic nerve is not mature, and the eye rotation during this period is aimless.
As your baby's age increases, his vision increases two months after birth, and he likes to keep his eyes on things around him or communicate with people.
During this period, the baby's nose bone is not yet mature, the distance between the eyes is relatively close, and parents always feel as if their child has a "right eye" situation when talking to the baby.
There is no need to panic at this time, for most babies this is a temporary physiological phenomenon.
Newborns are born with only a sense of light in their vision, generally speaking:
1 year old children with vision up to 0.2,
2 years old vision can reach 0.4 or more,
3 years old vision can reach more than 0.5,
4 years old vision can reach 0.6 or more,
Vision for 5 years and above can reach 0.8 or more.
In addition, stereoscopic vision is the ability to distinguish objects far and near, depth and shallowness, children's stereoscopic vision is also gradually developed, about 5 to 6 years old basically mature.
Parents don't have to worry too much, the bedside can still be arranged with toys
It is recommended to be as far away as possible, and it is better to be 1 meter away from the baby's eyes
Hang as many toys as possible
With more goals to attract attention, the baby will not stare at a point for a long time
There must be points on both sides of the suspension
Parents should always pay attention to the gaze movements of the baby when he is awake
Observe whether you often stare at a fixed object for a long time
If this is found to be the case
Change the position of the item or adjust the direction of the bedside in time
In addition to bedside toys, there are also these parents to pay attention to
01
Sleep with the lights on
When the baby is young, in the middle of the night, in order to feed and change the diaper, the mothers want to keep turning on the light to check the baby's condition.
Turning on the lights when the baby sleeps is no benefit, under the continuous stimulation of the light, the baby will not only appear restless, sleep deprivation and other phenomena, because the vision has not yet developed perfectly, the light will also stimulate the baby's eyes, it is easy to cause damage to the retina, while increasing the possibility of the baby suffering from myopia.
In order to facilitate the care of the baby, parents can use the baby lamp with relatively dim lights, and the big light line at home is too bright, which will affect the child's vision development.
It is necessary to pay attention to changing the position of the child's sleep, alternating between left and right side sleeps from time to time, so that the direction of light projection received by the baby often changes, and the eyeball is no longer often turned to the side to avoid inducing or aggravating strabismus.
02
Strong flash for photography
Many parents take a lot of photos in order to record their baby's growth, and some parents turn on the flash when taking pictures.
But at the moment of flashing, the strong light will stimulate the baby's eyes, and the baby's visual nerve is not yet mature, which will bring an impact to the retina and cause damage to the retinal nerve cells.
In addition to being careful not to use strong flash to take pictures of the baby, parents should also avoid other strong light stimuli to avoid causing damage to the baby's vision or suffering from certain eye diseases.
03
Look directly at the bath bulb lights
Cold weather parents to the baby bath will habitually open the bath bar to warm, the bath bar emits a high energy of strong light, the lens of infants and young children is relatively clear, strong light can easily pass through the cornea and lens, accelerate the oxidation of retinal macular area cells, resulting in macular damage.
Under excessive irradiation, it can burn the retina, damage visual cells, seriously damage vision, and even risk blindness.
When parents bathe the baby, if you want to open the bath to warm, pay attention to let the baby not face the direction of the bath bully, avoid letting the baby look directly at the strong bath bully light on his back, and also add a cover to the bathtub to ensure safety.
