Eye slits, also known as eye gaps, refer to the gaps between the upper and lower eyelids. Some babies have smaller eye slits after birth, making their eyes appear particularly dull and lifeless. Make the baby's entire eyes look small and not very beautiful. So what are the reasons for small eye cracks in babies?
There are many reasons that can cause small eye cracks in babies, such as genetic factors, chemical factors, medication factors, etc. Parents can take their babies to the pediatric or ophthalmic department of the hospital for examination to determine the specific cause, and then cooperate with the doctor's treatment.
If the baby is not born with cracked eyes, it may change with age, so don't worry too much. Usually, it is important to protect the baby's eyes and avoid exposure to strong light as much as possible. You can also give your baby more foods that are good for their eyes, such as carrots. Many babies enjoy watching cartoons, and watching too much can be harmful to their eyes. Therefore, parents must control the amount of time their babies spend watching TV and other electronic products.
Babies are relatively young and their facial features are very fragile, so it is important not only to protect their eyes, but also to protect their other organs. When there are problems with the ears or mouth, the eyes can also be affected. For example, severe stimulation of the eardrums or throat diseases can affect the development of a baby's eyes. So once parents discover that their baby's body is diseased, they should immediately take them to the hospital for treatment.
