August is Children’s Eye Health Month!
As kids head back to school, it’s the perfect time to make their eye health part of the checklist. 🎒📚
Here are a few simple ways to help keep little eyes healthy:
👓 Schedule a comprehensive eye exam — Back-to-school is a great time to make sure your child is seeing clearly and their eyes are developing properly.
📱 Practice the 20-20-20 rule — Every 20 minutes of close-up work or screen time, have them look 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
🏀 Protect their eyes during sports — Sports safety eyewear can help protect young eyes from injury.
🌳 Encourage outdoor play — Natural daylight and time away from close-up activities support healthy visual development.
🥦 Eat the rainbow — Fruits and vegetables like spinach, broccoli, avocados, peaches, and kiwis provide important vitamins and nutrients that support healthy eyes.
A little prevention now can help set your child up for a lifetime of healthy vision. 💙
