With more and more learning going digital, students are swamped with screen time. It's more important than ever to prioritize your child’s eyes.
Blink rate drops when focused on things like books or digital devices, which can cause the eyes to become dry and itchy.
Sometimes overhead lighting at home or school can be harsh, but low-light rooms can also cause eye strain.
Kids can be picky, but help fuel their eyes with a balance of grains, fruits, vegetables, protein and dairy.
There are lots of options. Craft, colour, go to the park, play a board game or go on a scavenger hunt.
Begin to limit screen time at least an hour before bed. The light from some devices has been shown to interfere with a body’s sleep-wake cycle.
Lunch is also a great time to exercise your eyes by looking at an object 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds - for extra credit, blink 20 times!
It's less about age and more about attitude.
