After the baby is born, what should I do if one eye is big and the other eye is small?

Generally speaking, the appearance of the human body is almost symmetrical everywhere. If there is an asymmetry in some areas, it is not only unsightly, but can also be a sign of disease. The most common part of the human body to notice asymmetry is the eye.

We often call people with two eyes that are not usually big "big eyes", especially children, there will be more cases of large and small eyes.

Like the child above, you must not think that this is a child who is small and has not yet grown his eyes, or think that it is so cute and cute, in fact, this is caused by the child's congenital drooping eyelids. Fortunately, the child's parents found out in time and took the child to the doctor**!

What are the symptoms of "ptosis"? Most people present with single eyelids, large and small eyes, squinting eyes, or both eyes (unilateral ptosis).

There are 3 causes of ptosis1. Congenital ptosis

This condition is the most common and is unilateral and hereditary. Some babies are born with ptosis, which can cover some of the pupils or all of them.

[**Method]:Congenital ptosis can be corrected by surgery.

If a child has ptosis, depending on the severity of the condition, it is recommended that corrective surgery be done before school age if possible. If the situation is serious, it is theoretically necessary to have surgery at the age of one or two years to avoid amblyopia, head tilt, forehead wrinkles and other deformities. For mild to moderate ptosis, since the impact on vision is not too severe, it is possible to wait until the child is 3 to 5 years old before surgery.

[Method for judging the degree of illness]:

2. Acquired ptosis

It is usually caused by trauma to the eye, such as a fall in a kindergarten, home or on the street, causing a local hematoma in the eye, and the scar formed after the wound heals damages the nerve innervating the upper eyelid muscle, so that the upper eyelid cannot be lifted.

[**Method]:Ptosis caused by trauma does not need to be done immediately** because some children can heal spontaneously; If the condition is severe, it should be carried out according to the doctor's recommendation**.

3. Causes of disease

In addition, there is another condition that can also cause ptosis, and that is myasthenia gravis. It is a slow-onset ptosis, moving from one eye to the other, light in the morning and heavy in the evening, with noticeable fluctuations throughout the day.

Since it does not have obvious symptoms such as sneezing and runny nose like a cold, it is not easy to detect, and it may just appear suddenly when the child is tired from playing, but it will be fine the next day after a good night's sleep.

[**Method]:Medication is required to treat the symptoms**.

In addition to affecting the child's appearance, ptosis can also affect the development of the child's vision, spine and mental health. In short, if you find that your child has symptoms of ptosis, you must take active steps to intervene**.

Therefore, once you find that your eyes are not equal in size, you should see a doctor in time to avoid delaying the first time.

It doesn't matter, the child will slowly recover with the passage of time, don't worry about this, my child is like this, just born with this situation, and then slowly become double eyelids, and the eyes are the same size.

This situation is innate, we don't want to intervene, the child grows up, and it may seem more and more comfortable.

There is no need to worry about this situation. Because this will slowly change as you get older and your body develops.

I remember that when my baby was born, one eye was big, one eye was small, and even the faces of the spring brothers on both sides didn't seem to be the same size, until my baby grew up a little and looked symmetrical.

After the baby is born, the two eyes are not the same size, it may be that the eyelids are opened to a different extent, after all, just born from the mother's womb, the light in the womb before is definitely not as bright as the outside, so the baby may still be a little uncomfortable. Generally, when the baby grows up, the eyes will become the same size, so the mother does not have to worry too much.

In addition, the baby's eyes are large and small after birth, which may be caused by poor development and differentiation during the fetal period, or it may be that there is a problem with the baby's eyelid muscles.

In short, after the baby is born, it may be normal for the eyes to be big and small, and parents do not need to worry too much. Always remember to take care of your baby's eyes.

Inner double rock eyelids.

Babies with one large eye and small eye may be a common congenital ptosis, and the choice of medical treatment depends on the degree.

It is very normal for a baby to have one eye large and one eye small after birth, and both eyes will become the same size if you look at it a lot.

No matter what the child looks like, it is the heart and soul of the parents, as long as the child is healthy, it doesn't matter the size of the eyes.

It is very normal for one eye to be large and the other eye to be small, and then look at both eyes to be the same size.

I don't think there's any need to worry too much about this situation, because sometimes babies will have asymmetries when they are born, but as they grow and develop, they will slowly get better.

This phenomenon is innate, and there is no way but to see if the two eyes will grow the same size in the later stage.

First of all, you should do a comprehensive examination of the child to see if it affects the child's vision, if it does not affect the child's vision, wait until the child is older, and do a surgery to correct it.

I don't think there's a need to worry too much at this time, because when the child grows up, the eyes are basically the same.

It is normal for babies to have one big eye and one small eye, and parents have no other way, just go with the flow and don't care too much.
