When babies are young, they cannot express themselves in words. To understand their health and developmental status, it is necessary to use equipment or scientific examination methods. The development of a baby's vision is a lifelong matter, and parents should regularly take their babies to the hospital for physical examinations. So, how to check the eyes during a baby's physical examination?
Younger babies may not be able to cooperate with regular vision tests due to language barriers. In this case, the method of using an ophthalmoscope or a computer optometry instrument can be used to roughly assess the baby's visual development based on the results of the machine examination. This examination method is simple and feasible, and can detect the degree of refractive errors in the baby's eyes, providing a reliable basis for early correction.
In addition to using medical equipment to test vision, the method of lighting can also be used for examination. Under normal circumstances, when shining a flashlight on the eyes, the pupils will shrink, indicating the presence of light perception in the eyes. Shaking the flashlight, the baby's eyes will follow the light and rotate, indicating good development of gaze ability.
The quality of a baby's visual development is directly related to their physical health and growth. Parents can pay attention to observing their baby's eyes for abnormal phenomena such as strabismus and tremors, regularly take their baby to the hospital for physical examinations, and use professional medical testing to grasp the baby's visual development. Any abnormalities found can be corrected in a timely manner, which is of great significance for the baby's future healthy growth.
