Patient's question:
Patient Age: How many days is it normal for a newborn to open their eyes?Doctor's answer:
Newborns have their eyes open from the moment they are born, but most newborn babies are accustomed to the dim light in their mother's womb. After birth, their eyes are not accustomed to strong light, so they are often in a sleep state and may be easily overlooked by parents, mistakenly thinking that their eyes are not open. Always keep an eye on your child. As for the frequency of their eyes opening, there is no specific rule. Don't hurry, just wait and see. You might be able to see your baby's eyes open tomorrow. Don't shine strong light directly into your baby's eyes, as it will make them uncomfortable.
