The amount of information received through the eyes during human intellectual development accounts for 83%, hearing accounts for 11%, and other senses such as touch, smell and taste account for only 6%, which shows how important the eyes are to a person’s life. Normal vision can give people normal observation, judgment and normal action and thinking. The normal development of human visual function depends on congenital conditions and acquired learning, in which visual experience is established and consolidated. 0 to 3 years old is a critical period for visual development, and if eye diseases during this period are neglected, the accumulation of wrong visual experience will seriously affect the normal development of the visual nervous system. According to statistics, in our country, 16,000 children aged 0-6 years with visual disability are added every year, and the main cause of visual disability is amblyopia, followed by retinal and optic neuropathy, congenital cataract, congenital glaucoma and so on. The vast majority of these eye diseases can be treated very well if detected and treated early, but once the best time for treatment is missed it may lead to lifelong low vision, blindness, or even loss of young life. Because childhood eye diseases are insidious and not easily detected, they are often detected when the critical period of visual development is missed, resulting in irreversible low vision or blindness. As long as most childhood eye diseases can be detected and treated early, the treatment effect is very good and the treatment cost is relatively low. As Vice Premier Li Keqiang said during his inspection of preventive health care for children, ” Act early, spend less, and get better results.” On January 19, 1996, 12 ministries and commissions, including the Ministry of Health, set June 6 of each year as “National Eye Care Day” in the “Notice on the Publicity and Education Activities of “Eye Care Day”. The original purpose of the Ministry of Health’s Eye Care Day is to build awareness and understanding of the importance of eye care and eye protection among the general public. Through the activities of Eye-Care Day, the public will be provided with voluntary medical and health consultation activities, eye care services, good eye habits, prevention of eye diseases, reduction of the incidence of eye diseases and blindness, and protection of people’s eye health. When a new life comes, the whole family is immersed in joy and usually does not pay attention to the child’s eyesight problems. Many parents do not pay attention to newborn vision screening and do not yet realize the importance of newborn eye screening, and often omit this test on their own for fear of trouble or for the pain of their baby, not knowing that the seemingly frugal approach may bring greater trouble. Many babies’ eye diseases are not detected until after the age of one, which often misses the critical period of rapid vision development and delays the best time for visual rehabilitation. Children are in the developmental stage of life, especially infants and toddlers, which is a critical period for cognitive development. If children develop visual impairment during this period, it will not only lead to delayed development of intellectual and physical functions, but also cause delayed development of children’s emotional, psychological and social interaction abilities, which will cause a heavy burden to families and society. Data from our hospital, the first in the southwest to conduct newborn eye screening for more than a year, show that nearly 1/4 of babies will be born with eye problems, while hearing screening abnormalities are only 4 per 1,000. In reality, there are far more vision problems than hearing problems. Newborn babies do not use any expressions or words to express eye discomfort, and newborn eye screening is the most effective way to detect vision disorders early. Therefore all newborns should be screened for eye disease, because some babies who look healthy at birth may have developed vision problems in their mother’s womb. Other fundus pathologies at birth that are not detected and treated in time can also affect the normal development of visual function. Therefore, for the healthy development of the baby’s eyes, newborn eye screenings should not be “saved”!
