Congenital eye diseases in children

Patient's question:

A two-year-old child was diagnosed with astigmatism and received treatment in Hefei. The doctor prescribed glasses, but to this day, the examination shows that the degree has increased from over 200 degrees to 400 degrees. I don't know the reason and it's urgent.

Doctor's answer:

Usually, pregnant women who abuse alcohol often give birth to malformed fetuses. The reason is that alcohol can consume a large amount of zinc, leading to poor development of the fetus's visual organs and resulting in amblyopia. Long-term smokers are prone to the accumulation of cyanide in their bodies. When cyanide accumulates excessively in the body, it can cause cyanide toxic amblyopia. Therefore, if you want your baby's eyes to develop well, pregnant women not only need to quit smoking and drinking but should also try their best to stay away from passive smoking environments.
