The visual development of babies during early childhood is crucial, and parents must not be careless. If a baby's vision develops well, their visual acuity will be high, which is also very important for their brain intelligence. But many parents do not attach importance to their babies' visual development, leading to early onset of visual impairments. This requires mothers to pay attention to their babies' physical condition, so how can one year old babies have their eyesight measured?
Firstly, babies who are 2 months old will become more sensitive to light. At this point, parents can use a flashlight to shine on their eyes. When the light enters their eyes, under normal circumstances, they will unconsciously squint and furrow their brows. If parents find that their baby does not respond to light, it indicates that their baby's vision is impaired and they should take their baby to the ophthalmology department in a timely manner.
Secondly, eye covering can be used. If parents cover one of their baby's eyes, the baby doesn't care at all, but if the baby pushes open the covered hand because they can't see clearly, it means that the first time the covered eye has vision problems.
Another method is to use gaze and follow movements. One year old babies already have this ability, so once parents notice that their baby cannot maintain stable gaze or other expressions, it indicates that their vision is impaired. It is recommended that parents keep a backup eye chart at home, which can also help them quickly and conveniently understand their baby's visual condition.
