The sooner problems with vision are detected, the quicker a child can get the necessary treatment.
According to The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, some children are more at risk for vision problems. Your infant may be more prone if:
She or he was born prematurely.
There is a family history of vision problems.
You had an infection during pregnancy.
Your baby has heart disease or hearing problems.
If you suspect your baby is having difficulty seeing, consult your doctor.
