Messages For Your Children's Eye Health And Safety Wristbands

According to the Health Alliance Plan, more than 12 million children suffer from vision impairment, and eye injuries are one of the leading causes of vision loss in children. There are an estimated 42,000 sports-related eye injuries each year and the majority of them happen to children. Here are some top eye safety topics to talk about with your kids.

• Have children always Wear protective eyewear while participating in sports or recreational activities
• Make sure children are only playing with age-appropriate toys. Avoid toys with sharp or protruding parts.
• Set a good example!

Eye health is also important. Children's eyes should be examined during regular pediatric appointments and vision testing should be conducted around age three. Be aware of vision issues that may indicate a problem with a child's sight, including wandering or crossed eyes, a family history of childhood vision problems, disinterest in reading or viewing distant objects, and squinting or turning the head in an unusual manner while watching television. Some of the most common diseases affecting children's eyesight include:

•    Amblyopia (lazy eye)
•    Strabismus (crossed eyes)
•    Ptosis (drooping of the eyelid)
•    Color deficiency (color blindness)
•   Refractive errors (nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism)
