How can you tell if a child has problems?

Patient's question:

My child was premature and is now seventy days old. He can open his eyes and look around on his own, but when I try to engage him with objects, he doesn't focus on them and doesn't follow them with his eyes. When I hold him in a bright place, he squints his eyes. Does he have any eye problems?

Doctor's answer:

A few months later, the development of children's eyes is still in its early stages. Based on the above situation, the doctor examined the cornea, pupil, and vitreous. No problems were found. Wait until the children are more aware before deciding whether to continue the examination. If everything is normal, there is no need to doubt. Currently, I suggest you consult the doctor in detail, and pay close attention to the care of the child. I hope the above explanation is helpful to you.
