Simple Ways to Protect Your Child's Eyes
Healthy vision is essential for your child's learning and development. A few simple habits can help keep their eyes healthy. Encourage at least 2 hours of outdoor play every day, as it may help reduce the risk of myopia (short-sightedness). Limit unnecessary screen time and follow the 20-20-20 rule—every 20 minutes, ask your child to look 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Ensure they read in good lighting and maintain a comfortable distance from books and digital devices.
Provide a balanced diet rich in green leafy vegetables, carrots, eggs, fish, citrus fruits, and nuts to support eye health. Remind children not to rub their eyes with dirty hands and to wear protective eyewear during sports when needed.
If your child frequently squints, complains of headaches, sits too close to the TV, or has difficulty seeing the board at school, schedule a comprehensive eye examination.
