New Norn's eyes not opening
My wife has delivered a baby boy by caesarian after 8 months of pregnancy. For the last two months she has developed hypertension. Doctors told us risk of early fetoplacental insufficiency and advised for caesarian. The main problem is that, that more than 36 hours after birth have passed but our baby has not opened his eyes. Doctors are saying that eye lashes have formed but they also can't open his eyes forcibly and we have to wait for 12-15 days. Currently the baby is in NICU. What should we do ? Plz help .... Would there be need for a surgery. If yes plz suggest a Good doctor
