Question
Can newborns be harmed by watching commonly used daylight lamps or energy-saving lamps at home?
Answer
Newborns’ visual systems are still developing and are quite sensitive to light. Therefore, it is best to avoid direct light shining into the newborn’s eyes and adjust the home lighting to be soft. Generally, the daylight lamps or energy-saving lamps used at home do not harm newborns’ eyes, but excessive bright light can potentially cause damage.
