How to carry out visual training for test tube infants after 28 days
Since the advent of IVF technology, more and more couples have achieved their dream parent-child relationship through this way. However, IVF babies need to go through a series of growth stages after birth, one of which is the development of vision. Normal visual development helps infants learn and adapt to their environment. The following will elaborate on how to carry out vision training for test tube babies after 28 days from the characteristics of early vision, the significance of vision training, the methods of vision training and the appropriate time points.
Characteristics of early vision
In the first few weeks after birth, IVF babies' visual function is still not mature enough. They can only see objects at close range, have no concept of distance and depth, and are insensitive to brightness changes and color contrast. In addition, their eye movements are relatively limited, and they cannot track moving objects.
However, although the visual function of IVF infants is not mature enough, their eyes still need to receive appropriate visual stimulation to promote the development of eye muscles and lay the foundation for the normal development of vision in the future.
Significance of vision training
Vision training is very important for the visual development of IVF. Visual stimulation and training can promote the eye muscle development of IVF babies, improve their visual attention and adaptability to the environment. In addition, vision training can also help test tube babies develop spatial perception and improve their ability to recognize distance, depth and object contour.
Through vision training, IVF babies can gradually adapt to new visual experience, improve their sensitivity to the outside world, and help them better adapt to the environment in their future study and life.
Methods of vision training
IVF vision training can be achieved through a series of activities and games. Here are some common vision training methods:
1. Black and white card: In the morning and evening after 28 days, put a black and white card in the line of sight of IVF babies and let them look at it for a few minutes. The contrast of black and white cards can help IVF improve its ability to recognize object contours.
2. Look at the picture and speak: use colorful and simple graphic cards, supplemented by simple descriptions, to show and explain the meaning of the pattern to IVF. This can help IVF gradually establish the connection between image and language.
3. Eye movement training: guide their eyes to track horizontally and vertically by placing toys or other objects in the line of sight of IVF and moving them quickly. This helps IVF develop coordination and flexibility of eye muscles.
Appropriate time point
The vision training of IVF babies should start from 28 days after birth, because at this stage, the eyes of IVF babies have begun to perceive light and objects. However, because the development process of each infant is different, the specific time point of vision training should be determined according to the actual situation.
In general, IVF vision training should be continued for at least 6 months. During this period, the content and intensity of vision training can be gradually increased to adapt to the development process of IVF.
Summary
Vision training is very important for the visual development of IVF. Early visual stimulation and training can promote the development of eye muscles of test tube babies, improve their visual attention and enhance their adaptability to the environment. The methods of vision training include using black and white cards, talking with pictures and eye movement training. Vision training for IVF infants should begin 28 days after birth and continue for at least 6 months. Through correct vision training, IVF can establish normal visual development and lay a solid foundation for future study and life.
