Often rub the eyes of the baby easy to cause astigmatism, leading to blurred vision in the future, because vigorously rubbing the eyeball, easy to cause changes in the radian under the cornea, so when looking at things, the light is difficult to focus on a focus, and then there is astigmatism.
Usually, the baby rubs the eyes because of eye allergy, inflammation, foreign body and other factors, causing eye itching or discomfort, or habitually rubbing eyes when crying and playing. Mother must stop it in time after finding out, because rubbing eyes often brings the following eye diseases:
