My son eye sight

2023-03-21 06:52:37
My son is 3 months old and he very much rarely look into our face or I do not know if he really looks at us when we talk. When we try to pull his vision to our face he continuously changes his sight to something around us. He responds to different sounds but does not look into our eyes or face and sometimes he keeps smiling himself by cooing and looking at nothing. Is this to be worried and needs a test, please advise..?

Don't worry.. It's very normal.. Try using torch light if baby is following light then everything is normal. If possible give a visit to ophthalmologist

Most babies fix gaze in 2-3 months.. if you feel your baby is not looking at you, get a physical examination done from an ophthalmologist
