A 2-month-old infant does not yet focus both eyes on the same object. What should the nurse tell the mother?
This is normal for the age.
The child has strabismus.
The infant is developing amblyopia.
The child needs immediate referral to ophthalmology.

“Eye color may change during the first few months.”
“Blue eyes at birth mean they’ll stay blue forever.”

The nurse knows the risk of ocular injury is higher in infants because:
They produce fewer tears.
Their eyeballs occupy larger space within the orbit
Their eyelids are thinner
Their sclera is fully ossified.
