Newborn babies’ eyes have light-sensitive functions at birth: at 2 months, they can look at objects in a coordinated way, and their eyes can move 90° horizontally with the objects; at 3 months, they have hand-eye coordination, they can use their hands to grab fallen objects, and they start to recognize their mothers and familiar objects; at 6 months, they can distinguish between acquaintances and strangers; at 1 year, they can look at objects 3 meters away, they can distinguish the shapes of objects, and they start to love looking at pictures. 80% of the information babies get from the outside world is through their eyes, and whether their eyes develop normally or not will have an impact on their whole life. If eye diseases are not detected and treated in time, perhaps eye regrets will last a lifetime. Here are a few of the problems that babies often encounter with their eyes. Problem 1: teary eyes (dacryocystitis) Performance: baby looks teary, eye secretions, wipe after a while there. Always can not wipe clean. Newborn dacryocystitis: most of the newborn dacryocystitis is due to the lower end of the nasolacrimal duct is not fully developed within a period of time after birth, and is closed by a layer of congenital residual membrane, or is blocked by epithelial cell debris caused by the blockage of the tear duct, so that tears can not flow into the nasal cavity and cause tear overflow. There is also a very small part due to bony lumen narrowing of the nasolacrimal duct or nasal malformation. The inability to drain tears and secretions from the lacrimal sac allows bacteria to accumulate and multiply in the lacrimal duct, resulting in lacrimal sac inflammation. Its incidence is about 5% to 6% of newborns, and it is one of the common eye diseases in newborns. Problem 2: Red and itchy eyes (conjunctivitis) Performance: If your baby has redness in one or both eyes, the whites of the eyes and the inside of the lower eyelids, he probably has conjunctivitis, also called “pink eye”. Conjunctivitis: Your baby has conjunctivitis when an infection, allergen, or other irritant causes inflammation of the clear membrane covering the white of the eye and the inside of the eyelid (also known as the conjunctiva). When your baby’s immune system struggles to fight the infection, his eyes may become watery or have a heavy discharge. It is important to treat conjunctivitis promptly. If you notice any of these symptoms, take your baby to the hospital right away. Problem 3: Macroglossia Performance: Macroglossia, also known as “needle’s eye”, is an acute purulent inflammation of the eyelid. It begins with localized redness and pain, followed by a blister on the eyelid smaller than a grain of rice, which is painful when pressed. After a period of time, the redness and swelling will become purulent, and after a few days, pus will break through and emerge. Care of wheals: The following methods can be used when a wheals swelling first rises. 1, you can use a clean hot towel wet compress, 15 minutes each time, 3 times a day. 2. A thread can be tied to the root of the middle finger on the opposite side of the child’s affected eye, i.e., when the child’s right eye is affected, tie the root of the index finger of the left hand and the right hand when the left eye is affected. Note that the thread should not be too tight to prevent it from affecting the blood circulation of the child’s fingers. 3.Apply eye ointment or eye drops to the affected area. 4.When the abscess is mature, after the small abscess breaks by itself, wipe away the pus with sterile gauze; the large one needs to be incised and drained in hospital. After the pus comes out, then apply antibiotic eye drops or eye ointment. It is important to treat mydriasis promptly because early symptoms are mild and its development can often be controlled through local treatment, and the inflammation can quickly subside and be cured. Treatment is usually anti-inflammatory eye drops during the day, such as rifampin, tobaccos, telbivudine, etc., once every 3-4 hours. Problem 4: crossed eyes Expression: When looking at something, the eye moves to the inside or outside. Walking and falling. Strabismus: crossed eyes are professionally known as strabismus. Most babies with strabismus have varying degrees of vision loss, they can only look at objects with one eye, have no blending ability and stereo vision, and cannot accurately distinguish the distance between the front and back of objects. The best treatment time for strabismus is currently considered to be 5-7 years old. After missing the best treatment time, it can generally only improve the appearance, but not restore the vision and coordination ability of both eyes. Problem 5: Astigmatism Performance: squinting, tilting the head to look at things After being told that your baby has astigmatism, the first thing you should do is to go to a professional eye hospital to have your baby’s pupils examined to determine the degree of astigmatism. Astigmatism is the application of medication to completely paralyze the ciliary muscle of the eye and make it lose its adjustment. The main reason for this is that children’s eyes are highly regulated, so if the pupil is not dilated during the eye exam, the regulation of the ciliary muscle can cause the lens to become convex and the refractive power to increase, which will not remove the regulation of myopia, or pseudomyopia, and affect the accuracy of the results. In general, for babies between the ages of 3 and 5, if the visual acuity test results are above 0.5 and the astigmatism of the astigmatism is less than 75 degrees, there is no need to take deliberate measures. However, if the astigmatism of the astigmatism is greater than 100 degrees, it is easy to cause eyestrain and amblyopia in babies, so they must wear small glasses for correction. This correction can slow down the development of myopia and is very helpful in the prevention and treatment of myopia in babies.
