After a baby is born, their visual range is very close, and their eyes are mostly only black, white, and gray. However, as the child grows and develops day by day, their visual range will become farther and they will also see various colors. But many parents are not clear about the reason why babies are not being pursued? Next, let me give you a brief introduction.
Why do babies not chase after light
This is a normal physiological phenomenon, which is related to the low sensitivity of the baby's eye development. Symptoms like this are not strabismus symptoms and do not require any examination. However, if a baby around one year old does not catch up with their eyes, it is highly likely to be caused by congenital amblyopia. It is recommended to take the child to a specialized children's hospital for diagnosis and rational medication treatment.
Pay attention to strengthening children's nutrition, enhancing their physical fitness, and improving their immune function in daily life. Increase the intake of B vitamins and supplement vitamins and trace elements. Eat more coarse grains, carrots and other foods containing vitamin A to alleviate children's amblyopia reaction. Pay attention to keeping warm and maintain good sleep.
How to know if a baby's eyes can catch up with light
Generally, full-term infants and young children can stare at a light source at the age of one month after birth, and their heads can rotate up to 90 degrees with objects that move horizontally (i.e. they can chase light or objects). But there are also a few infants whose visual function development is delayed compared to other infants and young children. We suggest that you take your child to a pediatric ophthalmology clinic for a detailed examination to rule out organic diseases causing poor visual function.
What are the reasons why babies don't chase after them? It's better to go to the hospital for a check-up if you want to have a specific understanding. If it is a normal situation, then parents do not need to worry. If there are any issues, early treatment and correction can also be sought. Parents need to pay more attention to their children, and if any "abnormal" situations are found, they can prevent them in a timely manner. Mothers should pay more attention.
