Patient's question:
What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? Can a 3-year-old child wear sunglasses?Doctor's answer:
Children's eyes are more susceptible to UV damage than adults', so children should start wearing sunglasses from the age of 3. Because children's corneas and lenses are clearer than those of adults, UV light is more likely to reach the retina. Excessive exposure to UV light increases the risk of developing cataracts, macular conjunctivitis, and pterygium in the eyes. It should be considered whether there is digestive problems or insufficient breast milk. Children who are not well-fed or those who drink formula milk may also be affected. You should see a doctor to find the cause.
