Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
Newborns are born with eyelashes. The eyelashes of newborns are fine and can be observed. Eyelashes help protect the eyes from external contaminants and damage, such as dust. They also assist in regulating light exposure to prevent overexposure. When examining a newborn's eyelashes, their health status can be assessed by observing the color, length, thickness, and density of the lashes. If poor eyelash development is detected, appropriate measures can be taken to improve eyelash health.
