Question

I didn’t notice it when the baby was a newborn, but when the child was two months old, I noticed that the child’s pupils were pale white and they couldn’t see things clearly, but they had a clear reaction to light.

Answer

Hello, this situation is rather special. Whether it can be treated needs to be diagnosed after a detailed ophthalmic examination. Since there is a risk of retinal detachment from the bottom of the eye if there is already high myopia and a cataract operation is performed, especially if glaucoma symptoms develop after surgery, it is recommended to undergo a detailed ophthalmic examination. It is necessary to understand the cause before treatment and implement symptomatic treatment principles. In addition, eye care measures in daily life are indispensable. It is suggested to reduce the intake of spicy food and consume more foods beneficial for the eyes.
