EYE CARE TIPS FOR CHILDREN
1. Limit firecracker exposure
Firecrackers can cause serious eye injuries, including burns and blindness. It is important to limit children’s exposure to firecrackers and to supervise them closely when they do use them.
2. Use protective eyewear
If children are going to be around firecrackers, it is important to have them wear protective eyewear, such as goggles or glasses.
3. Avoid smoke
Smoke from fireworks can irritate the eyes. It is important to avoid smoke as much as possible, especially if you have children with asthma or allergies.
4. Wash hands frequently
Children tend to touch their faces more often than adults. To prevent the spread of germs, it is important to teach children to wash their hands frequently, especially before and after touching their eyes.
5. Get regular eye exams
It is important to get regular eye exams for children, even if they do not have any vision problems. This is because eye problems can develop without any symptoms.
Additional Tips To Help Keep Your Child’s Eyes Healthy
1. Eat a healthy diet
A healthy diet is important for overall health, including eye health. Make sure your child eats plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
2. Get enough sleep
Lack of sleep can lead to eye problems, such as eye fatigue and blurred vision. Make sure your child gets enough sleep each night.
3. Limit screen time
Too much screen time can lead to eye strain and other problems. Limit your child’s screen time to two hours or less per day.
