Why does the child mow his eyes?

This disease can develop against the background of an already existingexisting cataracts or glaucoma. The following factors also lead to strabismus: poor heredity (someone in the family or close relatives had such a visual defect); intrauterine intoxication of the fetus (occurs if the pregnant woman had an infection); any neurological diseases (because of this, the child squints in one eye); vision problems (often the baby suffers from myopia or hyperopia, against which strabismus develops); infections in a newborn (scarlet fever, flu, conjunctivitis, etc.); close placement of toys above the baby's crib. When the baby reaches 6 months, the doctor can already determine whether it is necessary to correct vision or the disease will go away on its own.

  • Educational institution with a special bias. For children with vision problems, there are gardens where ophthalmic profile groups have been created. There with the kids are conducting special classes.
  • Operative intervention (operation). Produced in extreme cases in children who have reached 3 years.
  • Modern medicine is able to help the baby.The disease can manifest itself when the child is a month old. Then he squints not necessarily because of a vision defect.
