A member asked:

I didn't realize that i had turn my baby's car seat towards the sun. it was directly in her eyes and very bright. she is 4 mnths. will it blind her?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not a problem: Babies at this age generally have the eyes shut much of the time. And the reflexes are already in place to avoid staring at bright lights. There is more of a risk to sunburn the skin in this circumstance than to the eyes. Nothing here to worry about.
