Eye Protection for the Baby
PROTECT and COVER BABY’S EYES
The eyes of babies can be damaged from direct exposure to any phototherapy
light. Always protect the baby’s eyes with eye patches or equivalent eye
protection products. Periodically confirm that the baby’s eyes are protected.
Perform this check more frequently if required by healthcare provider’s
instructions. Care should be taken to protect the eyes of other infants nearby.
Children and adult caregivers do not need to use eye protection.
