Here are some of the most common ones:
1. Congenital cataracts: Cataracts are a clouding of the eye's lens.
2. Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP): ROP is a condition that can occur in premature infants, where the blood vessels in the retina don't develop properly.


3. Congenital glaucoma: This is a rare condition where the eye's drainage system doesn't develop properly.
4. Pediatric glaucoma: Similar to congenital glaucoma.
5. Congenital ptosis: Ptosis is a drooping of the eyelid.
It is important to have your newborn's eyes checked by a pediatrician or ophthalmologist to identify any potential eye problems early on.
