When your baby starts seeing around then think that it is the right time to take care of his or her eyesight. Many parents hang bright colorful objects at the top of baby's crib, thinking that their baby will have something to look at and he or she will not cry and disturb them. Your baby keeps on staring at that motionless object and this can cause muscular imbalance that may end up with various refractive errors and eyestrain related problems. Due to staring at such objects the baby's eyeballs become fixed instead of flexible.
Cross-eyes are the first condition that happens with baby's eyes.
