Most parents will tell you that there is nothing better than looking into the curious eyes of a baby. Unfortunately, an infant’s precious eyes can sometimes be affected by certain medical conditions. Some of these issues may be present at birth, while others may come on suddenly. The good news is that most of these conditions are easily treated and will cause no lasting damage if spotted early enough. Ptosis needs to be carefully monitored and treated, as it can lead to more severe issues such as lazy eye and vision problems. Your doctor will monitor your child’s vision and use various medical interventions to support your child’s vision. In some cases, surgery may be required to correct the problem.

In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of kids who need to use visual aids like glasses and contact lenses. The CDC highlights that 6.8 percent of kids under the age of eighteen have some form of eye or vision problem. While many people blame the increasing use of screens, other factors play a role, such as genetics and access to natural light. If your child is starting to wear makeup, they should put their lenses on first. Additionally, kids love to share, but they should never share their lenses, as this can cause eye irritation and may pass on infections.
