That is interesting Frame because my twin nieces(premies), concerning their eyes, were always checked and recheck for eye problems. In my previous picture post I believe you can see the eye patchs put on right after birth and kept on for quite sometime. They still look at them when they go for the wellness visit. I'm happy to report all is good with their eyes.
Edit: Here ya go. Both had their eyes covered like this for a long while. Man, were they tiny. No bigger than my hand..
I got to hand it to those in the NICU at Johns Hopkins.
