Are babies sensitive to bright light?
At birth, a newborn's eyesight is between 20/200 and 20/400. Their eyes are sensitive to bright light, so they're more likely to open their eyes in low light. Don't worry if your baby's eyes sometimes cross or drift outward (go "wall-eyed"). This is normal until your baby's vision improves and eye muscles strengthen.
Do bright lights bother newborns?
“We operate on young babies and shine a very bright light directly on the most sensitive parts of their eyes for up to 30 minutes at a time, and even that doesn't cause blindness,” says Levin. “Retinas are made to last, and it's highly unlikely that this kind of light would cause damage.”
