What causes yellow eyes in babies?

To know a person’s state of mind, we often have to look at his eyes. We often say that eyes are the windows to the soul, which shows the importance of eyes. Many newborn babies are prone to eye diseases. For example, their eye color looks abnormal and they show symptoms such as yellow eyes, which makes their families very concerned about the main cause of the disease. So, what is the reason for yellow eyes in babies? Let’s take a closer look at it below.

1. Some patients who are malnourished or take pigmented drugs may sometimes have yellow eyes, but as nutrition improves and medication is stopped, the yellow eyes disappear.

2. High-intensity work and excessive use of eyes. When the eyeball becomes congested and cannot return to its original state in time during rest, yellow eyes may appear, but generally the condition will improve after a short period of adjustment.

3. Hepatitis B (treatment is somatic cell immunotherapy) or other liver diseases cause an increase in bilirubin in the body. The excess bilirubin enters the blood circulation, flows through the body through the capillaries, and causes yellowing. The yellowing of the sclera of the eye is one of the main characteristics.

The above is an introduction to what causes yellow eyes in babies. I hope it will be helpful to parents. There are many factors that cause children's eyes to turn yellow. The key is to go to a regular hospital for a comprehensive diagnosis in time when you find any abnormality. Only when the cause is determined can effective treatment be carried out.
