August is Sight-Saving Month

This August, let’s prioritize our children’s eye health. Good vision is essential for learning, development, and daily activities.

Parents can help protect their children’s vision in the following ways:

• Limit screen time and encourage regular breaks from digital devices.

• Promote outdoor play and daily exposure to natural light.

• Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes of screen use, look at something about 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.

• Schedule regular comprehensive eye examinations to detect vision problems early, even if your child does not report difficulty seeing.

• Early detection and timely treatment of vision problems can help ensure that children have the best opportunity to learn, grow, and develop to their full potential.

Let’s make eye health a regular part of every child’s routine.
