When a novice father sees a newborn child, the first thing he says is "the child has no eyes"!
A pair of young parents came to the delivery room recently, and the father-to-be wandered outside the delivery room with both excitement and apprehension.
Finally, the nurse walked out of the delivery room with a smile on her face, gently holding the baby that the couple had been waiting for for a long time.
The father-to-be immediately greeted him, eager to see the immature little face.
However, when they carefully uncovered the small quilt that wrapped the baby, they were stunned.
Their baby turned out to be "eyeless"!
Father-to-be couldn't put into words the shock and despair he felt inside.
How can this happen to the baby?
His heart was full of doubts and pain.
Just then, an experienced doctor came over.
After the doctor came over to check, he laughed out loud. Then he explained: Where does this child have no eyes?
It's just that after the squeezing of the birth canal during the delivery process, plus there is dirt before it can be cleaned up, after the nurse cleans it up, the eyes will come out, and now it just hasn't opened, don't scare yourself.
This is a common phenomenon, and most of the time, as your baby grows, the eye muscles will gradually mature and the eyelids will be able to open completely. ”
Hearing the doctor's explanation, the young parents breathed a sigh of relief.
What happens when a baby is born with "no eyes"?
Many netizens also shared that their baby's eyes are too small after birth, like a slit, and they ask for help online, what should I do?
There can be a number of reasons why a baby has no eyes after birth, but "no eyes" here usually refers to the baby's eyes closed or unresponsive, and here are some possible causes:
1. Physiological causes
A newborn's eyes may swell slightly for a few days after birth, due to stress during childbirth, which usually subsides naturally within a few days.
In addition, some babies may have low birth weight, premature birth and other conditions, and the development of various organs in the body is not yet perfect, including the adjustment and focusing function of the eyes, which may cause the baby to look like "no eyes" for a period of time after birth.
2. Drooping eyelids
It is a congenital condition in which the eyelids do not open completely due to the underdevelopment of the muscles of the upper eyelids, which obscures part or all of the pupil. This condition may need to be corrected with surgery.
3. Influenced by genetic factors
If the baby's eyes are still small for a long time after birth, then we have to think about whether they are affected by genetic factors?
Many netizens posted a comparison of the eyes of their father and their own baby, which also found the real reason why the baby "has no eyes".
Don't blame anything else, just blame the baby's father, the genes are too strong, and they are definitely biological.
No wonder netizens ridiculed: It's so similar, there is no need to go to a paternity test at all.
Some dolls on the Internet look big and small, like dad and mom, and no one really "offends"!
In other words, newborn babies actually have small eyes, but most children's eyes will grow bigger and bigger, which will not affect their good looks at all. Mothers can observe their baby's eyes from the following 3 aspects:
Eye size and shape:
It is true that newborns' eyes are relatively small, but they grow gradually over time.
The size and shape of the eyes change in the first few months of life because the baby's facial bones and muscles are still developing.
Usually, a baby's eyes begin to appear more coordinated and prominent within 6 to 8 weeks of birth.
Eye Reactivity:
Newborn eyes are very sensitive to light and contrast.
When light hits a baby's eyes, their pupils should be narrow, which is a sign of the normal response of the eyes.
If you notice that your baby's eyes don't respond to light, or react abnormally, such as inconsistent pupil sizes, this could be a sign that needs further evaluation by a medical professional.
Eye movements:
Newborns' eye movements may appear a little clumsy because their eye muscle control is still maturing.
As they get older, your baby's eye muscles will develop more mature, and their eye movements will become smoother and more coordinated.
Generally speaking, newborn babies have much smaller eye diameters than adults, and some babies with single eyelids and small eyes are like "no eyes" after being squeezed by the birth canal.
But as the baby grows and develops, the eyeballs will get bigger and bigger, and they will be close to the adult eyeballs at about 2 years old, and they will not grow up again at about 3 years old.
Some babies may be "ugly" when they are born, but if they are raised, this "little monster" may become a quirky little cutie, and the eyes are also black and big, very charming!
In fact, whether it is big eyes or small eyes, it is good to grow your own style.
