    What's wrong with newborns never opening their eyes? How many days is it normal to open your eyes?

    1. The light is too bright. Most newborns open their eyes as soon as they are born, but most newborns are accustomed to the dark light in their mother's womb. After birth, their eyes are not adapted to bright light, so they don't open their eyes very much.

    2. There is discharge around the eyes. Some babies don't open their eyes for two days after birth because their parents don't do a good job of facial care and cleaning, resulting in discharge around the baby's eyes, causing the eyes to become stuck with these secretions and unable to open their eyes.

    3. Individual differences in infantsThe specific situation of each baby is different, and the time to open the eyes is also different. Some babies are born with their eyes open, some babies don't open their eyes until two or three days after birth, and some even don't open their eyes until a week later.

Parents don't notice that newborns sleep more than 20 hours a day, 24 hours a day, so sometimes babies may open their eyes to see things for a while, but the parents don't notice, and then the baby gets tired and closes his eyes to sleep, which makes the parents feel that the baby has never opened his eyes.

    7. Congenital eye loss in infants: babies cannot open their eyes after birth. It is possible that the infant has congenital hypophthalmia, which is rare and difficult to detect in existing ultrasonography.

    In addition, the cause of anophthalmosis can be a genetic mutation or it can be due to some unexplained changes in the embryo in the first few weeks of pregnancy.

    8. It is normal for newborns to open their eyes after a week, and sometimes they will continue to close their eyes. However, it is not necessary for the newborn to see as much visible light as possible during this time. It is necessary to place the newborn in an area with a low light source so that the newborn can easily and quickly open his eyes.
