There is no evidence that sitting too close to the TV can damage children's eyes. It may however, lead to temporary eye strain which can be pretty discomforting and possibly come with headaches.

On the other hand, a child having to move closer to see an object is a sign that he/she maybe having a poor vision (eg.Myopia) at the normal distance .

So schedule an appointment and get those eyes checked.

Remember you don’t even need to have an eye problem before you see your doctor.

Have a routine eye check once or twice a year👩🏽‍⚕️

DO NOT USE BREAST MILK OR URINE and STOP running from infected people.

•Avoid rubbing your eyes
•Wash your hands as often as possible
•If you contact it, make use of particle disposable tissue papers and not handkerchief so you don’t keep re-infecting your self while cleaning off the discharges
•Avoid sharing a face towel with infected person (doesn’t mean you should run or not look at the person again😂)
•This condition is self limiting and can’t be treated with the use of local medicine or any form of self medication eg. Breast milk, urine, leaf extract etc
•Visit your eye doctor for proper examination and treatment

Something you need to know, the red eyes experienced at this time of the year in the tropical region is not Apollo it’s Epidemic Keratoconjunctivitis, it has similarities with Apollo, I believe that’s why the society call it Apollo too.

Well Apollo is an Acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC) it’s a highly contagious infection characterized by eye pain, swelling and redness (subconjunctival hemorrhages).

EPIDEMIC KERATOCONJUNCTIVITIS (EKC) is caused by a family of viruses known as adenoviruses that are responsible for an array of respiratory, gastrointestinal, and eye infections.

What are the things you’ve heard or done towards the treatment of CONJUNCTIVITIS…

Usually this time of the year in the tropical region the most common eye disease that springs up is Epidemic Keratoconjunctivitis (EKC)

EKC is caused by a family of viruses known as adenoviruses that are responsible for an array of respiratory, gastrointestinal, and eye infections.

APOLLO as we popularly call it, being characterized by pink eyes is one out of many eye conditions the society have tried to self medicate on by instilling all manner of things into the eyes

Some cases turned out complicated placing the individual at risk of blindness.

Next post will give more details on how to prevent or handle this eye infection 😘

It is apropos to point out, globally at least 2.2 billion people have visual impairment or blindness, of whom at least in 1 billion of these cases could have been prevented.

It is interesting to know the leading cause of visual impairment and blindness are:
•Uncorrected refractive error •Cataract
both conditions leading to blindness are easily preventable.

Of the 1 billion people, 88.4 million have moderate or severe distance vision impairment or blindness due to uncorrected refractive error, and 94 million from cataract with glaucoma which causes irreversible blindness accounting for 7.7 million.

The implications of visual Impairment cannot be underestimated as it places:
•Enormous economic burden on families, community and nation with loss of productivity not to mention its effect on social and psychological.

Having a routine eye check once or twice a year keeps you a step away from blindness.

Many who don’t wear glasses, may think getting their eyes checked isn’t necessary .

Having healthy eyes is prevention.

Your eyesight is important to your quality of life, eye defects don’t always show symptoms early.

It’s your duty to make sure your eyes stay healthy.

SEPTEMBER HAFF END OOO yet you haven’t gone for that eye check, your eyes are watching you by yourself 👀

You should normalize a routine eye examination.

Many eye conditions come with no symptom at the early stage,upon an eye check an onset of an eye disease can be detected giving you more chances to beat it!!!!!

Make out time, your sight is as important as anything you classify important.

The question says ‘is it normal?’

Well it’s a physiological change that happens with a structure in the eye (the Crystalline Lens), as we all get older it tends to loose it’s ability to adjust its focal power so that makes it difficult for someone who has never needed corrective lenses for vision to see tiny prints or targets at a close distance.

Myopes are not on this table as they have always been short sighted.

Hyperopes are fully on the table as they have always been long sighted.
