That’s why August has been designated as Children’s Eye Health & Safety Month.
Vision Should Be A Top Priority
Good eyesight and eye health are especially important for the development of young children, and staying on top of vision concerns should be a priority for parents because it’s not always possible for children to realize when their eyes are not healthy.
Statistics show one out of 20 children between the ages of 3 and 5 has a serious eye problem that could result in permanent vision impairment if left untreated. Yet, 4 out of 5 preschoolers do not receive routine eye screening.
Common And Severe Eye Conditions
At Dr Boyer Optometry, we encourage you to include a comprehensive eye exam in your child’s back-to-school prep. Our kid-friendly optometrists can detect common refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, as well as more severe eye conditions like amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (crossed eyes), ptosis (drooping of the eyelid), and color deficiency (color blindness).
Fall Sports Injuries
The beginning of school also means the beginning of fall sports and other activities that could lead to eye injuries.
Every year, 42,000 Americans suffer a sports-related eye injury, with children making up the majority of those cases. You can help prevent your child from being part of that statistic by following a few basic safety rules:
Regardless of how COVID-19 affects the upcoming school year and sports season, now is the perfect time to tackle your kiddo’s eye health. And who knows, “really cool glasses” might end up being your kid’s favorite item on their back-to-school shopping list!
