Question
If a newborn’s pupils turn white, making it difficult to see clearly and sensitive to light, what could be the possible cause?
Answer
Based on the description, the possible cause could be corneal ulcer. If treatment with eye drops and needles, as well as muscle needles, shows no improvement, consider corneal transplantation as an option. This surgery has a certain rate of failure, and a detailed preoperative examination is necessary. Additionally, the possibility of glaucoma should not be ruled out. Before treatment, it is important to understand the cause and treat accordingly. Eye care measures in daily life are also crucial. It is recommended to eat less spicy food and more eye-friendly foods.
