  Babies may shed tears and be afraid of light. It is generally difficult to tell from changes in eye characteristics that a baby's eyes have been burned, but there may be some abnormal manifestations, such as the baby suddenly becoming less fond of staying in bright places and experiencing unexplained tears in the eyes. In addition, the baby's eyes may appear dull and lifeless, and their ability to catch up may also decrease.

  Of course, a baby's eyes are not fragile enough to be burned at the first sight of sunlight. As long as the baby's eyes do not show any abnormalities such as tears or redness, and there is no unexplained crying, there is generally no problem. When you experience tears, photophobia, and dull eyes, you can go to the hospital for a professional examination.

  Pay attention to protecting your baby's eyes and wear a sun hat when taking them out to prevent direct sunlight from shining into their eyes. When the baby is indoors, adjust the indoor lighting appropriately, avoid using lamps with particularly strong light, do not let the baby stare at incandescent lamps for a long time, and do not use flashlights or other devices to examine the baby's eyes.
