Patient's question:
At 2 months old, how often should I take my baby for a vision test? My family says the baby can't see clearly, is it strabismus?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you; when a baby is just born, their vision development is not yet fully mature. It's essential to wait until the baby is over three months old before conducting a vision test for more accurate results. You can also promote the baby's vision development by moving bright-colored objects in front of them.The period between 3 to 6 years old is a critical time for a child's vision development, so it's important to prioritize vision care. Currently, you can take your child to the hospital for a physical examination to check if their eyes have any issues, such as myopia. After the examination, surgery may be an option. Surgical intervention can reduce the need for early treatment and lead to faster recovery.
