If the baby is under a month old, it may be due to an underdevelopment of the upper eyelid muscle, which may be the cause of the baby’s large eyes. If the baby is already a month old, it is necessary to consult a doctor to see if the ptosis is the cause of the problem. If so, surgery is usually required to correct the problem, and it cannot be adjusted naturally.
In newborn babies, the levator muscle inside the upper eyelid of both eyes is not well developed, so the eyes cannot be opened to a normal position. As the levator muscle of both eyes develops, the eyes can be opened normally, but the development of the levator muscle of both eyes may not be balanced, which will cause the eyes to be one big and one small, at this time continue to observe the situation, and the majority of the children can be symmetrical at the end of the month.
If the child is older than one month and still has a small eye, it may be due to ptosis, which needs to be diagnosed by an ophthalmologist or pediatric surgeon at the hospital. If it is not possible to adjust the eyes naturally, it usually needs to be corrected by surgery.
