Patient's question:
Is it harmful for babies to sleep with the lights on at night? Why? First question supplement: ordinary household lighting, white.Doctor's answer:
Any artificial light source produces a subtle light pressure. The long-term presence of this light pressure can make people, especially infants and young children, restless and emotionally unstable, making it difficult for them to fall asleep. If babies sleep under the light for a long time, it is highly detrimental to the development of their vision. Turning off the light while sleeping is meaningful because it allows the eyes and ciliary muscles to rest sufficiently. Long-term exposure to light while sleeping means the light continues to stimulate the eyes, preventing the eyes and ciliary muscles from getting adequate rest. For infants and young children, this can easily cause damage to the retina and affect the normal development of their vision.
