How to check the eyesight of a two-year-old baby

A two-year-old baby can have his or her eyesight checked. The baby's eyesight is very important. When checking his or her eyesight, you should go to the hospital for a formal examination. We should also protect children's eyesight in daily life. Nowadays, there are more and more electronic products, and children are relatively young. Parents should try not to let their children come into contact with such audio-visual electronic products. Let's take a look at this aspect.

How to check the eyesight of a two-year-old baby

For children under 2 years old, the objective observation method is used. The examination formula is: afraid in January, moving in February (fear refers to fear of light, and moving refers to moving the eyeballs following the activities of adults); in April, they can touch and see colored objects; in June, they can grasp nearby objects; in August, they can follow the eyes (wherever the adult points the finger, the baby looks there and keeps his eyes fixed); at 1 year old, they can accurately point to the nostrils; at 2 years old, they walk away from objects. In addition, if babies aged 4-7 months have vision problems, their behavior when crawling and playing with toys is usually slower and less accurate than that of babies of the same age, and they appear a little clumsy.

How to protect eyesight for two-year-old babies

1. Baby's toys should be relatively round and blunt. Avoid buying toys with sharp edges, points, and protrusions.

When choosing toys with flashing functions, you should be careful to avoid buying toys with bright and dazzling light or fast flashing speed. When strong light flashes at a high frequency, the baby's retina will accelerate the adjustment to adapt to the changes in light and dark, and it is easy to blink frequently and cause visual fatigue. Over time, it may cause your baby's vision to deteriorate and his color sensitivity to decrease.

Don't buy harmful toys for your baby, especially simulated toy guns that shoot bullets. It is easy for babies to get their eyes hurt by toys when playing.

2. Prevent foreign matter from entering the eye by rubbing

The human body has a blink reflex function. When an object moves in front of our eyes, we will quickly close our eyes to protect our eyes. But the child is not sensitive yet and will not close his eyes quickly. When a foreign object enters the eye, the baby will rub his eyes due to discomfort, causing the foreign object to stay in the eye for too long or the sharp foreign object to be embedded in a certain point of the eyeball to form a lesion, leading to secondary infection and serious consequences.

3. The baby’s environment should be clean and tidy. When the mother is cleaning the house, making the bed, or hanging out clothes to dry, she should take the baby away from places where dust is abundant.

4. Avoid taking your baby out on windy or foggy days.

5. Always remind and urge your baby not to rub his eyes with his hands. Some babies have the habit of rubbing their eyes when they are sleepy or tired. Parents should help their babies to correct this bad habit. Tell your baby that everyone has invisible bacteria on their hands. Rubbing eyes with hands will allow bacteria to enter the eyeball and cause inflammation and infection.

The baby is still too young, and some hidden diseases are difficult to be easily seen, especially the application of the five senses. Therefore, parents are especially required to pay more attention. After checking and testing your baby's eyesight, you should also pay more attention to protecting your baby's eyesight and prevent your baby's eyesight from deteriorating in advance. Parents can do this through simple methods such as adjusting diet and massage.
