Patient's question:
Gave the newborn baby, who is 8 days old, three photos with the flash accidentally, but the baby was sleeping at the time and had his eyes closed.Doctor's answer:
When taking photos of infants with less than half of their faces visible, it's best to use natural light as much as possible and avoid using flash. If you're using natural light, you can adjust the flash angle by pointing it at the ceiling or the side wall, or you can use a slow shutter speed and a wide aperture to achieve the ideal baby photos. Of course, parents who used flashlights to take photos of babies and filmmakers don't need to worry too much, but it's important to pay attention in the future. Infant eyes are not fully developed, making them very "fragile" and unable to withstand the strong light of electronic flashes. This strong light can have a significant impact on the retina. If the distance is less than 1 meter, the damage to the baby's eyes will be even greater. You may not realize it, but this can unintentionally cause pain to the child.
