Newborn eye prophylaxis. Newborn eye prophylaxis refers to the practice of eye drops or ointment containing an antibiotic medication being placed in a newbornâs eyes after birth. This is required by law to protect the baby from an unknown Gonorrhea or Chlamydia infection in the motherâs body.
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.
