What's the best way to clean my babies eyes?
Usually a soft washcloth with warm water works best.
 
My baby seems to have a film over his eyes.  should I be concerned?
Likely this is due to a clogged tear duct.  This is usually treated by massaging the lower lid in the inner corner of the eye.  Surgery is necessary if this persists for over 1 year.
 
When will I know the final color of my baby's eyes?
Around 6 months, your baby’s eye color will be apparent.
 
Why doesn't my baby shed tears when he cries?
Around 2 weeks, your baby makes tears to lubricate the eyes.  Real tears from crying will not occur for several months.
 
Should I have my baby's eyes examined?
Yes.  Even if you do not have an immediate concern, your baby’s eyes should be examined around 6 months of age.  Your baby may have a very high prescription, poor alignment, or even an eye disease.  Any of these problems can keep your baby’s eyes from developing normally.
