The physical health of infants has always been a top priority for parents. Once a baby has any abnormalities, it will attract the attention and concern of parents. Parents are also very concerned about the baby's eye problems. Some attentive parents have noticed that the baby's white eyeballs have red spots, which makes them very puzzled. So, what is the reason for the baby's white eyeballs having red spots?
If a baby has red spots on their white eyeballs, it may be caused by rubbing their eyes after crying. In this case, parents should calm the baby down, stop crying, and wait for a while to see if the baby's red spots have recovered.
Furthermore, parents also need to observe whether the baby has inverted eyelashes. As the baby's face shape is relatively round and the eyelids have more fat, but the baby's nose bridge has not fully developed, it is easy for the eyelashes to curl inward. If the baby's inverted eyelashes are not very serious, parents can help the baby flip their eyelids after cleaning their hands. Generally speaking, the condition of inverted eyelashes will gradually improve with the baby's age, as well as the development of the eyeball and nose bridge.
In addition, it cannot be ruled out that red spots on the white eyeballs of infants are caused by conjunctivitis. Conjunctivitis generally has two types: acute and inflammatory, mainly caused by bacterial and viral infections. In addition, conjunctivitis can cause more obvious redness in the eyes of infants, accompanied by secretions.
