Most babies have “eye contact”, but it is actually a false alarm, only a few babies really have a problem. False pairs of eyes are nothing to worry about, but if they are real pairs of eyes, then early intervention is needed. Many parents who take their babies to the ophthalmologist within 1 year of age suspect that their baby’s eyes are “crossed eyes”. The “opposite eye” is a common name for internal strabismus, an eye disease that affects the development of vision. Are there really so many babies with crossed eyes? The opposite eye, real or fake? In fact, most of the babies who look like opposite eyes are actually fake opposite eyes, that is, although the baby’s eyes look like opposite eyes, but the test results are normal, the baby does not have strabismus. So why do so many parents have the feeling that their baby is seeing eye to eye? This is because Asian babies tend to have a wider and flatter nasal bridge when they are young, and many other babies have a little bit of inner canthus, which means that the skin folds at the inner corners of the eyes cover the corners of the eyes, making the black eye look very close to the bridge of the nose, which visually looks very much like opposite eyes, and this condition can be immediately ruled out by the doctor using the strabismus examination method, so it is also called pseudo-internal strabismus. This is not an eye problem and does not require any intervention. As the baby grows up and the nose gets higher, the appearance will naturally improve. A very small number of babies with true eye strabismus do have true internal strabismus. In an internally strabismic baby, the two eyes are not parallel, and one eye looks straight ahead while the other eye looks inward. This can easily lead to amblyopia in one eye and poorly developed visual function in both eyes, preventing the establishment of normal stereo vision, which will have a greater impact on the baby’s future school, work and life. Therefore, if your baby is truly right-eyed, you must not ignore it and go to the doctor as early as possible for early detection and early intervention, so that the internal strabismus and the resulting poor visual acuity and visual function development can be improved as soon as possible and the damage to your baby’s vision and visual function can be minimized. 4 ways to detect abnormalities in his eyes 1, let the baby look forward, if one of his eyes is looking straight ahead, while the other eye is obviously skewed to the side of the nose, or both eyes are obviously skewed to the nose, indicating the possibility of internal strabismus. 2.When the baby is looking at the distance, often or occasionally one eye is skewed outward, and the two eyes look obviously asymmetrical, indicating the possibility of exotropia. 3, the baby likes to squint one eye, especially in the outdoor sunlight is easy to appear this situation, may have exotropia, there is an internal strabismus of the baby will occasionally appear this phenomenon. 4, suspected of strabismus, you can do with the baby to block the eyes of a small game, if the baby does not let cover a certain eye, but do not mind covering the other eye, and repeated many times are the same eye not allowed to cover, indicating that the baby has low vision in one eye, need to go to the hospital for further examination. Special reminder 1, the diagnosis and treatment of strabismus is a systematic and complex medical process that needs to be designed and completed by a professional doctor. 2.Once you suspect that your baby has a pair of eyes, you should still seek examination and diagnosis from a professional doctor as soon as possible. A professional doctor can easily help you determine whether your child has strabismus or not.
