Congratulations Prof Dr Adrian Fung for putting together a fantastic conference for this years Ophthalmology Updates last month.

Dr Cam Loveridge-Easter pictured here to represent the Paediatric subspecialty alongside a world class line up of leaders in their fields.

"It was a privilege to be able to tell the story of Retinopathy of Prematurity and its myriad advances to improve the lives of our most fragile, and to introduce the surgical techniques of Frontalis Advancement to an audience that will counsel families with congenital ptosis.

Listening to passionate colleagues share insights into where their respective fields are headed remains the best way to stay current in a rapidly evolving specialty. Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to many memorable discussions."

TIP 6: Regular eye check ups.

In NSW all 4 year olds have access to StEPS vision screening. Having a general vision check at this age is important so that any issues are identified while vision is still developing. If you are concerned about your child’s vision or eyes always consult your GP, CFHN (who have access to orthoptists), optometrist or paediatric ophthalmologist.

TIP 5: Limit screen time.
Screen time can cause dry eye symptoms so regular breaks are important. Small screen use should be limited and when used should be held far from the face to reduce myopia risk.

TIP 4: Healthy diet and lifestyle. Vitamins and minerals found in a varied diet are important for the maintenance of healthy eyes. Green leafy vegetables, nuts and oily fish have been shown to lower the risk of adult eye diseases. Foods with Omega 3 help our tear film.

TIP 3: Prevent eye injuries.

Teach children how to protect their eyes by not running with sharp objects, removing hazards around the home and being cautious around swooping birds during breading seasons. Consider protective eye wear during certain contact sports.

TIP 2: Sun safety.
While natural light exposure is so important to healthy eye growth, it is important we protect our eyes from UV exposure. Wearing a hat, sunglasses and playing in the shade (or outside of peak UV times) are important ways to reduce UV exposure. Not all sunglasses or hats are made equal, so choose appropriately labelled sunglasses from reputable shops.

TIP 1: Outdoor play.

2 hours of natural light exposure per day has been proven to reduce the development and progression of myopia. Myopia is projected to effect half of the worlds population by 2050 and leads to an increased risk of eye diseases in adulthood. Importantly, myopia progression is linked to the intensity of light, not UV therefore we can maintain safety from UV exposure while also getting the benefits. All outdoor light is good, including on overcast days and in the shade.

Juleye is Australia's national eye health awareness month.

Here at SOS we thought we would share some tips for keeping children’s eyes healthy (most of these tips are important for our adult eyes also!).

Our vision develops until around the age of 8 and our eyes grow until young adulthood (around 20 years of age). Because of this, the things we do as children have significant impacts on our vision and eye health as adults. Here are a few ways we can help develop and protect healthy eyes
