Question
A three-month-old baby, before being three months old, was held by his grandfather and was held in an upright position to look up at the sky (on days without the sun) for about ten minutes each time. Will this have any effect on his eyes?
Answer
The human eye has a self-protection mechanism. When exposed to bright light, the pupil constricts to reduce the amount of light entering, preventing the retina from being overstimulated. Additionally, people will squint or close their eyes to reduce the amount of light entering. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the baby’s eyes being harmed. On the contrary, taking children out more often and letting them interact with more things is beneficial for their visual development and the expansion of their world perception abilities.
