Think About Your Eyes: Tuesday #gno Twitter Party
Did you know that 1 in 4 children have a vision problem that can interfere with learning and behavior? 80% of everything children learn comes through their eyes, and uncorrected vision problems impact their ability to learn and interact with the world around them. Children receive more annual sun exposure than adults because many of their activities are outdoor- based. This increased exposure to sunlight also increases children’s exposure to damaging UV light. Because UV exposure is cumulative, it is important to begin eye protection at an early age. Over a lifetime, damage from unprotected exposure to UV rays can lead to eye diseases and conditions that will affect the health of the eyes and vision.
Think About Your Eyes, a national public awareness campaign to promote the importance of an annual eye exam, aims to educate on why exams are an important part of overall health and wellness. The vision community, through Think About Your Eyes, wants to educate parents on the difference between school vision screenings and a comprehensive eye exam. While a screening can test a child’s ability to see at a distance, it does not provide information on how well the eyes focus up close or how the eyes work together.
