Look out! It's Children's eye Health and Safety Awareness month! 👀👓
Most people think vision problems mostly occur later in life, but it can start to diminish very early on! Over one million children under 17 years old have vision problems, loss of vision, or lazy eye in the United States.
How to prevent childhood blindness:
- Early vision screening
- Regular eye exams
- Limiting screen time to one hour or less a day
- No screen use before a year old
Remember, if a child (or anyone!) in your family has glasses, make sure to keep them updated with the proper prescription to ensure optimal eye health and vision.
Ask your trusted healthcare professionals for more tips to make the most of you and your loved ones’ health!
