Hijacking this to give advice critical for a baby who is only a few months old.

OP, are you in the US? Contact your states "Birth To 3" program immediately. You can get a Vision Specialist to come to your house. I imagine other countries have similar programs.

Reading the rest of the thread, you HN'ers are very blessed to be ignorant that such a program exists.

By this logic pretty much every single person in existence is "blessed to be ignorant" of the thousands (more?) of potential ailments they aren't facing right now. Seems like a silly POV.

Yes? I don't see a problem with this line of reasoning.

"Ignorant" implies that they are actively avoiding this information. A less inflammatory choice of words would be "unaware".

For instance, it is extremely silly to consider non-Americans "ignorant" if they don't know US-only programs.

No, it does not imply that. Ignorant simply means "lacking knowledge". You're implying the separate term "willfully ignorant" means the same thing as ignorant. If it did, then willfully ignorant would be redundant, which it is not.
