Many parents may find that their children love to have their eyes gouged out. At first, they think it's because their baby wants to sleep that they have their eyes gouged out. However, after a period of time, their baby's eye gouging is not because they want to sleep. As a result, many parents are confused about what causes their baby to have eye gouging and worry about what kind of illness their child may have. So, what's going on with the baby picking their eyes?
1. If a baby likes to pick their eyes, it may be caused by allergies in the eyes, especially if the baby suffers from allergic conjunctivitis. After the illness, the baby's eyes will show mild congestion, which will not affect the baby's vision, but it will make the baby feel uncomfortable in the eyes, so the baby will often pick their eyes.
2. When a baby has inverted eyelashes, their eyes may feel uncomfortable, so they like to pick their eyes. The reason for this is that the baby's eyes secrete more sebum, which can easily lead to inverted eyelashes. In addition, the baby's eyelashes are relatively soft, and when the lacrimal gland secretes a large amount of mucus, it can cause discomfort when the baby wakes up.
3. The vast majority of people like to pick their eyes when they feel uncomfortable, which may be due to certain eye diseases in infants, especially conjunctivitis, which is very common. When the eyes are affected by inflammation, they will produce a large amount of secretions, causing eyelashes to stick together and making babies feel uncomfortable. Therefore, they like to pick their eyes, hoping to improve the discomfort symptoms through eye picking.
