What is the vision of a newborn baby?

Myopia is easily inherited, especially parents with high myopia are more likely to pass it on to their children. In addition to inheritance, the vision of a newborn baby may also be caused by unhealthy eye habits. If, for example, you can correct unhealthy eye habits in your daily diet, there are some common foods in daily life that are beneficial to the vision development of newborn babies.

1. Foods containing vitamin C

Vitamin C is one of the components of the lens of the eye. Lack of vitamin C can easily cause the lens to become cloudy, leading to cataracts. Give your children more foods containing vitamin C, such as various vegetables and fruits, among which green peppers, cucumbers, cauliflower, Chinese cabbage, fresh dates, and raw pears have the highest content.

2. Foods containing vitamin A

Vitamin A can prevent the conjunctiva and cornea from drying out and degeneration, and can prevent and treat "dry eyes". The cornea of ​​the eye is dry and easily invaded by bacteria, causing ulceration, perforation, and blindness. Vitamin A can also enhance the eyes' ability to adapt to dark environments. Severe vitamin A deficiency can easily lead to night blindness. Animal foods rich in vitamin A include pork liver, chicken liver, egg yolk, milk and goat milk, etc.; plant foods include carrots, spinach, leeks, green peppers, red purple sweet potatoes, oranges, apricots, persimmons, etc.

3. Calcium-containing foods

A calcium deficiency in the diet will cause increased neuromuscular excitability in young children, putting the eye muscles in a highly tense state, thereby increasing the pressure of the extraocular muscles on the eyeball, which can easily cause vision damage over time. Therefore, give your child more calcium-rich foods. Lean meat, milk, eggs, beans, fish and shrimp, kelp, vegetables, oranges, etc. are relatively rich in calcium, but the calcium content of food is generally low. For example, each kilogram of lean meat contains less than milligrams of calcium, while infants and young children aged 0 to 3 years old need 400 to 800 milligrams of calcium per day. The calcium content of milk and dairy products is second to none among human foods. The calcium content of each 1 ml of milk is more than 1 mg, and the calcium is easily absorbed by the human body. Therefore, it is necessary to develop the habit of giving milk to infants and young children every day. In addition, cooking methods such as roasted pork ribs soup and sweet and sour pork ribs can increase the calcium content.

4. Foods containing chromium

When the chromium content in the human body decreases, the effect of insulin is significantly reduced, causing the osmotic pressure of plasma to rise, resulting in changes in the osmotic pressure of the lens and eye chamber, causing the lens to become convex, increasing the refractive power, and causing amblyopia and myopia. The chromium needed by the human body should be obtained from natural foods, such as brown rice, corn, and brown sugar, which have high content. In addition, lean meat, fish, shrimp, eggs, beans, and radishes also contain certain amounts. Mothers should note that if babies eat more sweets, the osmotic pressure of the lens and aqueous humor may change, which may also make the lens convex and increase its refractive power.

A newborn baby is in a critical period of vision development. Breastfeeding mothers should pay more attention to the nutritional balance in their diet, which is conducive to the normal development of their child's vision. During the care of a newborn, be sure to protect the baby's eyes.
