Progressive myopia in children is becoming increasingly common, but there are effective ways to slow its progression. Nexus Eye Care share few important tips to help protect your child’s vision:
◾ Monitor your children’s eye health with regular eye examinations: Ensure they have frequent eye check-ups to catch any changes early and get appropriate guidance from eye care professionals. ◾ Limit screen time and other near-based activities to less than 20-30 minutes at a time: Reducing prolonged periods of close-up activities can help minimize eye strain and slow myopia progression. ◾ Set an example by also limiting your own time on electronic devices in front of your children: Children often imitate their parents’ habits. By managing your own screen time, you can encourage healthier behavior in your children. ◾ Encourage approximately 2 hours of daily physical activity outdoors in natural sunlight and remember to wear a hat and sunglasses: Outdoor activities in natural light can benefit eye health. Make sure your children are protected from the sun's harmful rays by wearing hats and sunglasses.
