Does too wide eye distance affect intelligence?

Down's syndrome is a common chromosomal disease, which is caused by the formation of one more chromosome 21. Generally, the typical performance is that the fetal eye distance is too wide, so many expectant mothers will pay more attention to this index when they do prenatal examination.

Generally speaking, there are different standards for fetal eye distance in different gestational weeks. The standard for eye distance around 21 weeks is 0.33-0.35. If it is 0.37, it is slightly higher than the standard. It can be observed at the next prenatal examination, or amniocentesis can be performed for genetic diagnosis.

If, after amniocentesis, trisomy 21, or Down's syndrome, is diagnosed, then the mother to be may need to make a painful decision, because the fetus is likely to be born with intellectual problems. Induced labor will do great harm to the body of pregnant women.

matters needing attention

When the fetal eye distance is slightly wider than the standard, the expectant parents should not worry too much. First of all, they should adjust their mood and keep happy, and then go to the hospital for further examination and diagnosis, otherwise they may be bothered by nothing.
