You have been reading how we are looking out for our eyesight well being.
We continue in our saga and this time we are focussing on children’s healthy vision because it is never too early to start protecting the eyesight. As a matter of fact, children might be more exposed to the harmful UV rays as they enjoy and play outdoors.
Because of the active lives of children : constantly in and out, changing their environment, Quick and adaptive to light to allow for perfect vision in every ambiance, Transitions Lenses is ideal for kids too! (Remember they also block 100% of UVA and UVB rays)
during visiting the optician for mr cool moms eye check up we discovered how for the little ones there are great tools to evaluate their sight such as the chart that instead of letters and numbers has symbols like hearts and circles for those who aren’t reading yet!
Regardless of what reading stage your kids are at it is never to early or too late to care for a healthy eye sight. Therefore besides going to routine eye examinations you can make sure to look after your family’s windows to the world. Not to mention, you are helping them do better in school.
We recently visited wwww.eyedidntknowthat.com where not only we had fun playing different educational games but also took a test to see if we made the grade and made a promise to care for our eyesight. Transitions Lenses gave us a few tips to help us identify if a child needs to visit an eye care professional:
-Holds reading materials too close to the eyes
-Uses fingers to trace words when reading
-Exhibits lack of attention or fatigue during school
-Constantly rubs the eyes
-Continuously squints
-Complains about headaches
-Turns or tilts the head to use one eye only
-Shows extreme light sensitivity
-Has irritated or teary eyes
This site has vast resources for patents, teachers, professionals and even children

Come by and take the promise! We did 🙂

These are some great tips to watch out for in my son. Thanks!
Thanks for telling us about eyedidn’tknowthat!
My husband has perfect eyesight. Me, not so much; I have to wear glasses which I call my eyes because without them I can’t see. So I know how important keeping a watchful eye on my boys’ eye sight is important. Thankfully, and I knock on wood, my boys got their dad’s eyesight, phew!
Great tips! A lot of people don’t think it’s eyesight when their children complain of their eyes hurting, they can’t see etc so these are some great tips for every parent to take into consideration!
Thanks for sharing. Luckily we all have great eyesight.
Great tips – thank you so much for sharing 🙂 x
With all of the things that can go wrong with a child’s eyesight it’s great that you’re staying on top of it.
I only have cats…but I’d make them wear glasses. 😀
Great post and tips! I hope my daughter would not need one as she likes to watch TV so very close!
This is one thing that I have problems with, eyesight! Thank you for the tips.
Great resource to keep in the ‘in case needed’ file. Thanks

Very useful information. Great to be prepared. I always take my son for his physical and eye doctor visit. Thanks for sharing
It is very important to pay attention to kids ’cause usually their performance at school gets affected. My sister wasn’t doing good at school and turned out that the reason was the need of glasses. After a check up she got back on track
Great info! I will make an appointment for my daughter because I’m noticing that she is very sensitive to bright light.
