Care interventions include: • Protect infants from light with levels below 25 lux until 32/34 weeks Corrected Gestational Age (CGA) – incubator cover or canopy with open cot. Also provide shading for older unstable infants. • From 32 weeks CGA begin to introduce moderate light exposure – 2hrs per day - canopy or incubator cover reduced, while still shielding baby from bright overhead lights or sunlight. • Gradually build up to ‘cycled lighting’, which reflects day/night lighting when infant is approaching term (35 – 37weeks CGA) • Protect infants from focused lighting during medical procedures/examinations. Could use eye mask or carer’s hand. • Remember to also consider effect of increased lighting levels on infants in nearby cots. • Vision - avoid placing strongly contrasting images in infants view before term
