What should I do if my baby has one big eye and one small eye?

If a baby has one big eye and one small eye, parents should not be too nervous and should pay attention to understand the reason, because many newborn babies are prone to have one big eye and the other small eye. Some may be caused by genetic problems. However, if the baby has protruding eyes, it is necessary to see a doctor in time.

1. The baby's eyes are larger than one another, which may be a neonatal phenomenon.

It is very normal for a newborn to have one eye larger than the other. Human eyes are naturally different in size. It is just that because the child is still young and has not fully developed, the size of the eye is more obvious. Generally, as the child grows, the eyes will slowly return to normal, and the size of the eye will not be so obvious.

It is recommended to observe the baby carefully after three months to see if there is any particularly prominent sign of different sizes of the eyes. If the eyes are not protruding, it is normal. If they are protruding, you should see a doctor immediately.

2. The baby's eyes are larger than one another, which may be hereditary

If there is an obvious problem of uneven eyes in the baby's family, then the baby's uneven eyes should be a genetic phenomenon. Normal children usually have one eye larger than the other, but the sizes of the eyes may differ significantly or slightly, which is due to genetics.

3. If your baby has one eye larger than the other, it may be an eye disease

If the child is growing up and one eye is still obviously larger than the other, then you have to consider whether one of the child's eyes is developing out of sync due to external stimulation, or whether it is caused by an eye disease. It is recommended that parents take their children to the hospital's eye department for an examination to rule out the possibility of amblyopia or myopia. If an eye disease occurs, professional treatment should be sought, and parents should protect their eyes at ordinary times.

If your baby has one eye larger than the other, it may be ptosis
