Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Actions to prevent blindness must occur before vision impairment takes place. Screening for diseases such as rubella, syphilis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea that affect development of vision in the fetus is a preventative measure. Vision testing after birth is important to begin steps to correct or identify the problem early on so the child can develop as normally as possible; waiting until children are young adults is too late. Another technique is administering eye prophylaxis in the form of erythromycin ointment approximately 1 hour after an infant's birth. Reporting reduced eye contact is recommended but is not a preventative measure.
