Q. I want to take photographs of my two-month-old child. My friends told me that it will affect the child's eye. They say that camera's flash light will harm the child's eyes. Is it true? When can I start taking photographs of my child?

A.  There is no harm in taking photographs with flash of anyone, baby or adult. We even take electro-diagnostic tests for retinal function with flashes.
