😴👁️ Ever noticed your child sleeping with their eyes slightly open?
It’s actually normal during deep sleep and usually nothing to worry about. But if your little one sleeps in AC or under a fan, it could lead to dry, red, or irritated eyes.

💡A simple fix? Use a humidifier or gently reposition the fan — and if symptoms persist, give us a call.

Seeing cobwebs, strands, or specks in your vision?
They might be floaters — tiny clumps inside the eye that can cast shadows on the retina, making it look like you’re seeing threads, dots, or faint shapes moving around.

While floaters are often harmless, a sudden increase could signal something more serious.

Did you know?
Too much sun can be too much for your child’s eyes — especially between 10:00AM and 4:00PM!
UV rays can temporarily damage the cornea and conjunctiva, two vital parts that help protect your child’s vision. 😎🧒🏽👁️

Don’t take chances — sunglasses, hats, and regular eye exams can make all the difference.
