Get rid of misconceptions: Most babies within 1 year old have opposite eyes and strabismus, which are temporary physiological phenomena that will disappear when the baby’s facial bones are mature. Many attentive mothers will find that their babies have some opposite eyes, or some babies have uncoordinated eye rotation and more white eyes when looking at things, is this strabismus? The phenomenon of opposite eye strabismus in babies During infancy, especially in babies within 1 year old, because the nasal bone is not developed and the two eyes are close together, babies like to observe things around them by gazing without turning their eyes, and mothers always feel as if their babies are opposite eyes when they look at each other with their own children. In fact, this is a temporary normal physiological phenomenon for most children. With the development of the facial bones, especially the orbital and nasal bones, these pseudo-eye pairs will gradually disappear. The movement of each eye is controlled by six muscles. Small babies often have uneven development because the muscles regulating eye movement are not well developed, and the baby’s ability to move both eyes together in a coordinated manner is poor, so strabismus can occur. What parents need to pay attention to During this period, if parents are not diligent in their care, they may induce or aggravate the baby’s opposite eye and strabismus. For example, often let the baby look at only one side of the light, do not pay attention to often change the position; or hang the toys in the crib too close, so that the baby often look at near objects with both eyes, etc.. Parents should pay attention to change the baby’s sleep position, so that the direction of light projection often change, today the head sleep on the left, tomorrow sleep on the right, every other day, so that the baby’s eyes no longer often turn to one side; crib colored toys can not be hung too close, at least 1 meter away, but also at all angles to hang a few more, so that the baby only pay attention to a little, so that the baby can avoid the occurrence of the eye or strabismus. Warm tip If the baby has eyes or strabismus, it is more important to guide the baby to multiple directions of gaze to correct, to 3 years old is still no improvement, should find the ophthalmologist consultation.
