Question 1

child had two head ct scans at 3 months and 6 months. she had a couple simple x-rays with both. i was unaware this was dangerous. how?

Accepted Answer

Radiation: A head CT scan administers a high dose of radiation so if there is an alternative solution such as a MRI that would be better. Discuss this with your doctor. This is particularly important if she requires further imaging.

Question 2

are polarized sunglasses bad for childrens eyes?

Accepted Answer

No: They do a better job of shielding them from unwanted sun rays than plain sunglasses.

Question 3

i sprinkled the the orange in the eyes of child around age of 2-3 yrs. i thought it will not cause any problem but from next day her eyes is showing s?

Accepted Answer

Orange in eyes: The orange is an acidic fruit and can sting when sprayed into the eyes. You can use OTC Opcon A 2 drops eyes 
twice a day to reduce redness and stinging. It will pass in a few days, no worries. Welcome to health tap!

Question 4

child's eyes are +3.25, please help, what to do?

Accepted Answer

CONSULT PED OPTHALMO: Your child is farsighted, you should consult a pediatric opthalmologist as he/she may need glasses to read and needs complete eye examination and follow ups.You did not mention childs age 
children with farsightedness may have no symptoms or may have headaches, rub eyes often and have trouble reading or no interest in reading
normal growth in children corrects the problem most of the time.

Question 5

what must i do if my child gets chemicals in his eyes?

Accepted Answer

See below: I would flush his eyes with water and call a poison control center. And an urgent evaluation is most likely going to be needed.

Question 6

i got 3 kids and none of them has hazel eyes like me. how come ?

Accepted Answer

Gene pool: Each chromosome carries many genes, which also come in pairs. Since half of your baby’s genes come from mommy and the other half are from daddy, the probability of a baby getting any particular gene is similar to the probability of flipping a coin.
 Most traits, like skin color, hair color, eyes and height are the result of lots of genes working together, many of which are still unidentified.

Question 7

what could cause a kid blinking eyes?

Accepted Answer

Habit: Blinking if of course normal and necessary.  But a few children will blink excessively and repeatedly in a way that looks disturbing.  In almost all cases this is a kind of tic or repeated habit with no underlying pathology.  The usual way to get it to stop is simply ignore it, not call attention to it in any way, and most children will revert to normal after time.

Question 8

my child eyes are swollen what could it be the problem?

Accepted Answer

Missing info: This can be as simple as a reaction to airborne pollen/irritants that got into the eyelids or a worrisome bacterial infection that could penetrate the eye. Without a better description or exam it is hard to speculate on the cause. If this bothers the kid I would have it seen.

Question 9

what could make a child's eye cloudy?

Accepted Answer

Glaucoma : Increased pressure can cause a cloudy eye. Although other causes are possible, prompt evaluation by an experienced pediatric ophthalmologist is paramount to rule out this vision threatening condition.

Question 10

what will the color of my child eye be?

Accepted Answer

Blue or brown: There are not too many options - either blue or a shade of it or brown. It all depends on the mix of genes your child will get.
