Choosing the Right Eyewear for Your Child
Kids need eye protection, too! When choosing sunglasses for your child, make sure they are labeled as providing 100% UV protection. Polarized lenses are a great option because they reduce glare from reflective surfaces such as water and pavement, making outdoor activities safer and more enjoyable.
Screen Time and Eye Health
In today’s digital age, screens are everywhere, and spending too much time in front of them can strain your eyes. The 20-20-20 rule is a simple way to reduce eye strain: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away. Adjust the brightness of your screen to match the lighting in your room and try to keep screens an arm’s length away. Remind your kids to take breaks, especially during long gaming sessions or virtual classes. And if you wear glasses, consider lenses that filter blue light to ease eye discomfort.
