Question
What effects can flashlights have on babies’ eyes?
Answer
Photographing during pregnancy is generally fine, but it’s advisable to avoid using flashlights when taking pictures of babies. Babies’ retinas, especially the macula area, are developing and highly sensitive to bright light. The damage from strong light may not manifest immediately, as babies’ eyes are not fully developed. Although occasional use may not be harmful, parents are recommended to be cautious and avoid using flashlights when taking photos.
