After three days of birth, pediatricians will go to the hospital to perform various examinations on the baby. This includes screening for hearing and examining the baby's body movements. But the baby's vision cannot be checked temporarily, because the baby's vision will not develop well until three months later. How to detect amblyopia in babies, and what are the manifestations of amblyopia in babies?
1. Look at things closer together. If a baby has amblyopia, their vision will be affected and they will look very close when seeing things. When they are far away, babies find it difficult to see clearly. When looking at things in the distance, they like to squint their eyes or look very close.
2. Strabismus. You will find that when babies are looking at people and things, they only keep their eyes fixed, while the other eye will show a deviation phenomenon, or the baby will tilt their head when looking at people.
3. Poor physical activity. If you carefully observe your baby's eyes, you will find that their eye movements are poor, their eyeballs will involuntarily jump, and their focus is also not good.
4. clumsy in action. If a baby has amblyopia, their coordination ability between their eyes and hands will be impaired. They may appear clumsy in their actions and frequently fall while walking. When the distance is particularly close, it is difficult to recognize things and the reaction may be slower.
5. Emotional restlessness. If the baby has amblyopia, they will be unwilling to play with other children. And the emotions are also very unstable, easily irritable and restless.
6. Eye discomfort. You will often see babies rubbing their eyes, and if they shed tears, their eyelids will swell, their eyes will turn red, and there will be eye droppings.
