Often, parents, when a child appears, first of all look into his eyes, wondering which of them the baby looks like. However, immediately after the baby is born, it is impossible to determine whose eyes it has. It should be noted that the native eye color in children appears much later.
Instructions
Step 1
During the first year of life in children, the color of the eyes can change several times, and up to three months in most cases it is generally impossible to determine it. In an infant, visual acuity is very low, approximately at the level of the sensation of color, but with age it gradually increases and by the year it reaches half the level of visual acuity of an adult.
Step 2
In the first days of a child's life, vision can be determined by the reaction of his pupil to light. But already in the second week, he begins to fix his gaze on certain objects for a few seconds. Vision will be fixed only in the third month of a child's life, by six months he will be able to clearly distinguish figures, relatives, toys, and in a year - even drawings.
Step 3
Skin tone, hair color and eye color all depend on the presence of melanin pigment in the body. In most cases, babies' eyes have a light blue or light gray color in the first months of life, since there is absolutely no melanin in the iris of babies.
Step 4
As the child develops, the color of the eyes begins to change, which means that his body has begun to accumulate melanin. If the color of the eyes darkens, then there is a sufficient amount of melanin in the body, when they turn gray, blue or green, there is very little pigment.
Step 5
During the entire development of a child, the color of his eyes can change several times. This suggests that the amount of melanin changes during the development and growth of the baby. Basically, eye color fully takes on its final color only by the age of three or four years of age.
Step 6
The amount of melanin in the body can also be due to heredity. The reason for this is the dominance of traits at the genetic level. The kid can get them not only from parents, but also from distant relatives.
Step 7
Sometimes babies are born with a phenomenon called heterochromia, which gives babies eyes of different colors. There are also albino children with reddish eyes. If melanin is completely absent in the iris, the color of the eyes is determined by the blood contained in the vessels of the iris. There are cases when people with light eyes during a period of illness or severe stress change their color.
Step 8
All over the world, you cannot find a single specialist who could accurately give an opinion on what color your baby's eyes will be. Yes, this is probably not the most important thing in life, because the most important thing is that your child develops healthy and beautiful, and looks at the world around him with kind and cheerful eyes.
