August is Childrenโs Eye Health & Safety Monthโa timely reminder that healthy vision plays an important role in how children learn, grow, and experience the world around them. ๐
Parents and caregivers can help protect their childโs sight by:
๐ Scheduling routine comprehensive eye exams
๐ก Encouraging protective eyewear during sports and activities
๐ฑ Monitoring screen time and allowing regular vision breaks
๐ Watching for signs such as squinting, frequent headaches, eye rubbing, sitting too close to screens, or covering one eye
Many childhood vision concerns are easier to address when detected early. Make eye health part of your childโs back-to-school routine this August.
