CAUTION!! Baby Goes Blind After A Close-up Flashlit Photograph by Simolicatalano: 12:31am On Jul 29, 2015
According to Peoples Daily Online, the
three-month-old baby, who has not been
named suffered irreparable damage from
the flash of the camera, which was held
about 10 inches away from the baby
boy. The parents were said to have noticed
that there was something wrong with their
baby’s vision soon after the photograph was
taken.
DailyMailUK added that aside from the right
eye that went blind, the baby also had a
reduced vision in his left eye.The damage is
said to be permanent and cannot be fixed
with surgery. Experts say that the strong
flash has damaged cells on the macula,
which is the part of the eye where incoming
light rays are focused.
Damage to the macula can lead to the loss
of central vision, which allows people to see
straight ahead. The macula is not fully
developed until children are four, meaning
youngsters are very sensitive to strong
light. According to research, babies will
shut their eyes when exposed to light on
reflex, just milliseconds of strong light can
cause permanent damage. It is not clear
whether the family friend will face any legal
action following the incident.

so to all fellas out there, please exercise caution with all infants.
bless you!!!
