Patient's question:
My baby always seems to have difficulty opening their eyes when they go outside. Why is this? Additional information: They are less than three months old and have no other symptoms.Doctor's answer:
The baby is only three and a half months old, and her skin and organs are very delicate. Her eyes are the most sensitive to external stimuli. Of course, the baby hasn't learned to blink normally like adults when there's a slight breeze or movement—she just closes her eyes. Moreover, it's the height of summer now, and the sun's ultraviolet radiation is very strong, which can easily harm the skin and eyes. So, it's important to take extra precautions.I suggest taking the baby out in the morning or evening when the light is relatively weaker. Initially, you can cover her eyes with your hand or another object, then gradually move it away. Once she gets used to it, she will naturally open her eyes!
