Blind, lose one's teeth - from what else nightmaresdo you wake up at night in a cold sweat? The good thing is that they all stay where they came from, in the darkness of the night. However, in reality, care will still be taken care of. At least to the oculist to look after. And the children are led to a regular examination - it's generally holy. But ... few people like to once again go to the clinic. And in the meantime the number of children who have undetected problems with eyesight is growing. What should I do? First, still go to the ophthalmologist. Children under three years old must visit the doctor at least once a year, older - every two years. And also - to observe some simple rules that will help to prevent problems with eyesight. Well, or at least in time to notice them.

Tomatoes, carrots, melons, grapes, berries, as well as fish, chicken eggs, whole grains (buckwheat and oatmeal, for example), vegetable and butter - they contain nutrients that are necessary for eye health. 2. Hide from the sun It is important, yes. It's never too early to wear sunglasses. When you are young, the lens on the front surface is very clean and allows harmful sunlight to pass through easily. This can trigger the early development of cataracts. 3. Go in for sports Unexpectedly, right? Tennis, volleyball, basketball, badminton contribute to the preservation of vision, since a person has to follow the ball or shuttlecock all the time. Exercise for the eyes. Oh, sport, you are life. 4. Keep your distance. Bump into the monitor - and let the whole world wait. No. You can not do it this way. The TV set should be at least 4 meters away from the child, the computer should be at least 30 cm away. Moreover, at eye level, and not under the ceiling. Otherwise, here it is, a powerful factor in the deterioration of vision. 5. Read hidden symbols - Pay attention to subtle hints that your child's eyesight is impairing. This can be, for example, complaints of headaches and a categorical refusal to read, write or draw. These are attempts to sit closer to the TV, and bring the book closer to your eyes. And if a child squints at a screen or a book, then this is generally the most direct signal: it's time to see an ophthalmologist. 6. Go to the movies. Recently, the Association of Ophthalmologists found that “volumetric” films in 3D format can help determine if a child has vision problems. If, after putting on glasses, the child complains of a headache, dizziness, some other discomfort, begins to rub his eyes or does not react at all to 3D effects, then from the cinema go straight to a specialist. Have a reading together: Books in different colors, font sizes, and pictures will help you not only develop your child's literary vision, but also monitor the health of their eyes. Also interesting:
