Looking after your children’s eyes


You can take several steps to help your children maintain healthy vision.

Encourage them to spend plenty of time outdoors, but always ensure their eyes are protected from the sun. This means using quality sunglasses or encouraging them to play in the shade.

A healthy, balanced diet is also crucial, as the right foods can significantly contribute to good eye health.

If your child needs to wear glasses, try to encourage them to wear them whenever necessary. This can greatly assist their vision development as they grow. Plus, with so many frame designs available today, they can often find styles that help them feel confident. In some cases, contact lenses might even be a suitable option for your child.
