Back to School Tips for Healthy Eyes

8/1/2020

23 Comments

 
Picture
Whether your kids are going back to school online or will be heading into the classroom, kids from preschool through high school will be hitting the books this fall.

Preparations for back to school often include shopping for new clothes and gathering up school supplies. But as part of your back to school to-do list, don’t forget to consider your child’s vision.
​
Vision problems can lead to issues with learning, behavior, and confidence. For example, kids that have visual impairments that go undetected can develop delays in learning. Some kids may also become bored with school and have trouble concentrating. 
Making sure your child maintains healthy vision and any vision problems are corrected is vital for their educational and social development.

There are several things you can do to help keep your children’s eyes healthy this school year. Consider the following suggestions: 
​

​Watch for signs of eye problems

Older kids can let you know if they are having trouble with their vision. But younger children may have trouble explaining the problem or even be unaware something they are experiencing is related to their vision.

Some signs of vision problems in children are obvious, while others are more subtle. Possible signs include:
  • Holding books too close to their eyes
  • Frequent headaches
  • Tilting head to one side
  • Squinting when not in the sun
  • Short attention span
  • Excessive eye rubbing
  • Complaints of tired or sore eyes
​

Take screen breaks

Back to school may often mean homework assignments on the computer or tablet. In addition to school work, kids might be spending time on their phones or watching TV. Remind them to take frequent breaks. Too much screen time can lead to eye strain.

Symptoms of eye strain include:
  • Sore burning eyes
  • Blurred vision
  • Increased sensitivity to light
  • Headache

According to the Mayo Clinic, taking frequent breaks using the 20-20-20 method can help. Encourage your children to take a break from electronic devices every 20 minutes by looking 20 feet away for about 20 seconds.  
​

Get the right eyeglasses

If your children wear glasses, make sure the lenses are scratch-resistant and made of polycarbonate, which is shatterproof. The frames should fit well and not be too large. If their glasses are slipping, consider adding ear grips or a strap that helps keep the glasses in the correct position. Some children, especially older kids, may prefer contact lenses. In some cases, contact lenses may also be appropriate for younger children. 

​Protect eyes during sports 

Wearing the right protective eyewear during sports is vital to prevent your child from sustaining an eye injury. Eye injuries in children are common. According to the Vision Council, about one-third of the eye injuries sustained in the United States occur in children.

Children should wear properly-fitted protective eyewear made of polycarbonate lenses. The eyewear should be approved by the American Standards for Testing and Materials. Kids should wear protective eyewear when participating in several types of sports, such as ice hockey, baseball, and racquet sports. 
​

Encourage frequent hand washing 

Little hands can carry big germs and lead to common eye infections, such as conjunctivitis. Remind kids to wash their hands frequently and avoid rubbing their eyes, which can spread germs. With little children, teach them how to perform proper handwashing. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, you should lather with soap and water and wash your hands for 20 seconds before rinsing. 

Have an eye exam

According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, children should have a vision screening around the time they enter preschool or sooner if they are having vision problems.

The start of a new school year can bring new opportunities, challenges, and friendships for your children. Maintaining healthy vision habits plays a role in making sure your kids are prepared to meet their educational goals.

We are happy to answer any questions. To discuss whether an appointment with one of our eye doctors would be appropriate at this time, please call our office at 508-746-8600.

My sister's class will resume soon, but I'm quite concerned with her eyes because she will be using a lot of computers for sure. Well, I'm glad you shared this; I'll make sure to check if she is experiencing any headaches. Thank you for also informing your readers that it is important to ask the kids to take breaks from computers.

My nephew has been thinking about taking better care of his eyes because he thinks that it is getting harder to see the boards at school. Making sure that he can get a prescription from a professional could allow them to be more effective. I'll be sure to tell him about how he should notice any squinting, headaches, eye rubbing, sore, or tired eyes.

Great tip about how some signs of vision problems are eye rubbing and short attention span. My 8-year-old keeps rubbing his eyes. I'll have to bring him into a clinic for an eye test.

Drinking more water is something that I wanted to start doing (not just in the New Year) but I get busy throughout the day and forget. Now I know that I at least have that much in me.

IT WORK 100%....I just got my Marriage fixed, I contacted a real spell caster that helped me change my husband’s heart to love and want me again, and he really did and now we are very happy together. My husband left me for another woman, This was just 3 years of our marriage. The most painful thing is that I was pregnant with our second baby. I wanted him back. I did everything within my reach to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so badly because of the love I had for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back , I had no choice than to try it. I messaged the spell caster called dr unity, and he assured me there was no problem and that everything will be okay before 11 hours. He cast the spell and surprisingly 11 hours later my husband called me. I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that had happened He wanted me to return to him. He also said he loved me so much. I was so happy and went to him that was how we started living together happily again.thanks to dr unity . if you are here and your Lover is turning you down, or your husband moved to another woman, do not cry anymore, contact Dr.Unity for help now..

I'm so excited my broken Marriage has been restored and my husband is back after he left me and our 2 kids for another woman. After 8 years of marriage, me and my husband have been into one quarrel or the other until he finally left me and moved to be with another woman. I felt my life was over and my kids thought they would never see their father again. I tried to be strong just for the kids but I could not control the pains that tormented my heart, my heart was filled with sorrows and pains because I was really in love with my husband. Every day and night I think of him and always wish he would come back to me, I was really upset and I needed help, so I searched for help online and I came across a website that suggested that Dr Oniha can help get ex back fast. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he told me what to do and I did it, then he did a (Love spell) for me. 48 hours later, my husband really called me and told me that he misses me and the kids so much, So Amazing!! So that was how he came back that same day, with lots of love and joy, and he apologized for his mistake, and for the pain he caused me and the kids. Then from that day, our Marriage was now stronger than how it was before, All thanks to Dr Oniha.I will continue to tell everyone about how your spell works Dr Oniha because you are a God sent to me. You can also contact him if you need help to solve your problem, he will be of help to you.

I live in USA, ohio, I have to give this miraculous testimony, which is so unbelievable until now. I had a problem with my Ex husband 2 years ago, which lead to our break up. I was not myself again, i felt so empty inside me, my love and financial situation became worst, until a close friend of mine told me about a spell caster who helped her in the same problem too her name is Doctor Angelina. I email the spell caster and i told her my problem and i did what she asked of me, to cut the long story short. Before i knew what was happening , less than two days my husband gave me a call and told me that he was coming back to me i was so happy to have him back to me. The most interesting part of the story is that am pregnant. Thanks to Doctor Angelina for saving my marriage and for also saving others own too. Continue your good work Dr Angelina.. If you are interested to contact the great spell caster for greater miracles Email address: (angelicmama128@gmail.com )

I do not have any idea that hugs for good your health. You said right life is full of difficulties and in this life, it is very important that you have a best friend who understands your feelings. I think this is the best way to remain healthy and free of stress.

Special thanks to HACK VANISH, a professional hacker I’ve been hiring for the past 2 years because, I find him to be an outstanding hacker who has aided me in various hacking related issues, ranging from fixing my poor FICO credit score of about 437 TransUnion, 462 Equifax to 802 plus excellent score, tracking my cheating husband’s phone and currently has helped me recover my lost crypto funds from an online scam investment I recently ventured into, I must confess he is the best, quite brilliant, ever since I discovered him through a positive review I saw on Wallet Hub and reached out to him via Email: HACKVANISH @ GMAIL. COM, and Phone: +1(747) 293-8514, to which he responded in less than 10mins, I have never regretted working with him, he’s been quite helpful and highly efficient. I Would recommend his services to anyone without hesitation.

I think to take some supplements to try to balance your diet. Make sure you’re getting everything your body needs to stay healthy.People always talk about mental culture shock when they visit a new place, but your body doesn’t need to experience physical culture shock as well.

Thank you for explaining how to tell if you have eye problems. I've been thinking for a while now that my daughter might have problems with her vision. I'll be sure to look out for these before I get her tested by an eye doctor.
