Question
My child was born prematurely and is now seventy days old. They can open their eyes to see things, but they cannot make eye contact with objects and do not follow objects with their gaze. They squint when exposed to bright light. Do they have eye issues?
Answer
At several months of age, a child’s eyes are still in the early stages of development. The doctor has checked the cornea, pupil, and vitreous and found no issues. It is recommended to have further examinations as the child grows older. If everything is normal, there is no need to worry. It is suggested that you consult a doctor and pay more attention to your child’s care.
