Question
What causes a white spot on a newborn’s pupil?
Answer
A white spot appearing in a newborn’s retina may be due to congenital developmental abnormalities or degeneration of retinal tissue. It is recommended to take the baby to the hospital’s ophthalmology department for a detailed examination as soon as possible, so that appropriate treatment measures can be taken based on the diagnosis results. It is necessary to determine the cause before treatment and follow the doctor’s instructions for symptomatic treatment. Furthermore, precautions should be taken to protect the baby’s eyes in daily life, avoid excessive use of electronic products, and consume foods beneficial for eye health.
