What Causes The Inability Of A Child To Focus Eyes On Things?
Hi Doc!
I'm a first time mom and my baby is turning 5 months this June 2 and until now his eyes can't focus on some things like the musical mobile on his crib. And whenever we talk to him, seems like he can't look us straight in the eye. A lot of people are already asking us why he can't see yet. I know that kids can see clearly by the age of 6 mos. Do you think my baby is delay in development in terms of eyesight? Or is he developing normally. He smiles often and coos naman whenever we talk to him, yun nga lang no focus. Hope you could enlighten me on this one.

get your baby examined by pediatric specialist to asses developmental anomaly if any. it is not only vision but hearing is also to be assessed. it is not possible to diagnose from here. it requires examination of child and and birth history to be taken. if at all some thing detected proper measures can be taken.
