Newborn eye screening does not require particularly difficult skills. Experienced pediatric ophthalmologists can detect most newborn eye diseases by observing the newborn’s response to light stimulation, external eye examination, and red light reflex. Those who pass the initial screening will enter the normal child health screening program. Newborns who do not pass the screening and are diagnosed with an eye disease will undergo intervention or treatment. When: Screening for newborn eye disease is for newborns after 24 hours of birth, and the exam is performed in the hospital and completed before the newborn is discharged. What: 15 tests including eyelids, lacrimal apparatus, conjunctiva, cornea, sclera, pupil, crystalline lens, orbital, eye position, intraocular pressure, vitreous humor, retina, and optic nerve syndrome. Some of the more dangerous eye diseases: retinopathy of prematurity that occurs in premature newborns, congenital cataracts, and other congenital eye diseases, including conjunctivitis, dacryocystitis, congenital pupillary stumps, congenital ptosis, and so on. There are three eye diseases that require special attention: congenital cataract, congenital glaucoma, and retinopathy of prematurity. If your doctor suspects strabismus or other eye disease, an eye exam should be performed at birth. If there is a family history of eye disease, infants and children should receive an eye exam before 1 week of age. At 2 to 3 years of age, a comprehensive examination of vision, binocular vision, and refractive status of the eyes is performed. At 5 to 6 years of age, a comprehensive eye examination is also performed before the child enters school.
