We often see that many parents will hang a lot of colorful little toys at the head of the bed in order to make the baby happy, and these toys are too close to the baby for a long time. Over time, the baby's eyes rotate toward the middle for a long time, and finally lead to esotropia, which is what we often hear about the opposite eye/cockfighting eye. There is no need to panic at this time, for most babies this is a temporary physiological phenomenon. At this time, as long as the position of the item is changed in time or the direction of the bedside is adjusted, it can be corrected. Newborns are born with only light perception, and children's vision is gradually developed, and they are basically mature at about 5 to 6 years old. But the eyes of infants and young children are extremely delicate and need our careful care.
1
Don't hang toys too close and too little
When the baby has not yet turned over, it is necessary to use a relatively large eye turn to see the object, which may break the fusion of the two eyes, and look sideways in one direction for a long time, which is not conducive to the parallel development of the two eyes, and it is easy to cause strabismus or amblyopia.
When arranging toys at the head of the bed, it is recommended to be as far away as possible, and it is better to hang as much as possible from the baby's eyes, so that the baby will not stare at a point for a long time

Do not turn on the lights to sleep
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.

Do not take photos with a strong flash
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.

Do not 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.
