Question
I gave birth prematurely at 32 weeks, and the baby is now 50 days old. I want to have an eye examination. The baby’s physical development is normal, and the eyes respond to light stimulation.
Answer
Medical Analysis: Hello! Indirect ophthalmoscopy is painless as it does not come into contact with the child’s eyes. Guidance: However, you should consider whether the child is cooperative and for a better and more comprehensive examination of the retina, it is recommended to use medication to dilate the pupils (which generally has no effect on a child’s eyes). I suggest you visit a professional hospital’s ophthalmology department to have the examination done by an experienced doctor.
