आज भाद्र २९ गते राष्ट्रिय बाल दिवस,बालबालिकाको अधिकार, सुरक्षाको आवश्यकता, र उनीहरूको उज्ज्वल भविष्य सुनिश्चित गर्न हाम्रो जिम्मेवारीलाई सम्झाउँने दिन।नेपाल सरकारले ५८औं राष्ट्रिय बाल दिवसको अवसरमा यस वर्षका लागि ‘बालमैत्री समाजको आधार: जिम्मेवार परिवार, उत्तरदायी समाज’ भन्ने नारा तय गरेको छ।

बालबालिकाको शारीरिक, मानसिक र शैक्षिक विकासका लागि सफा दृष्टि अत्यन्तै महत्त्वपूर्ण हुन्छ। अध्ययनले देखाए अनुसार ८०% भन्दा बढी सिकाइ दृष्टिको माध्यमबाट हुन्छ। कमजोर दृष्टिले पढाइमा ध्यान दिन, लेखपढ गर्न र कक्षाको गतिविधिमा सहभागी हुन असहज बनाउँछ। यसका कारण शैक्षिक प्रदर्शनमा ( Academic Performance)समस्या आउन सक्छ र बच्चाहरूमा आत्मविश्वासको कमी हुन सक्छ। साथै, दृष्टिमा समस्या हुँदा खेलकुद वा दैनिक क्रियाकलाप गर्दा उनीहरूको शारीरिक सुरक्षामा समेत असर पर्न सक्छ।

नियमित आँखाको जाँचले दृष्टि समस्याहरूको पहिचान गर्न र समयमै समाधान गर्न मद्दत पुर्‍याउँछ, जसले बालबालिकाको जीवनलाई थप गुणस्तरीय र सफल बनाउन ठूलो भूमिका खेल्छ।त्यसैले, आजै तपाईँका बच्चाले विकासको क्रममा कुनै समस्या झेल्न नपरोस् भनेर सुनिश्चित गर्न आँखा जाँच गराउनु होस्। आफ्ना बच्चालाई स्वस्थ र स्पष्ट दृष्टिको उपहार दिनुहोस् र जिम्मेवार अभिभावक बन्नुहोस् । राष्ट्रिय बाल दिवस को सबैमा शुभकामना!

Has your child recently received a prescription for glasses?

Embrace this opportunity for early intervention, as neglecting to wear them can profoundly affect their visual growth. Without these crucial lenses, they may develop amblyopia (lazy eye), where one eye/ both eye fails to develop properly, and struggle with binocular vision, hindering their ability to see cohesively. This often leads to clumsy eye-hand coordination, impacting their ability to write, play, and engage in daily activities. Unaddressed vision issues can also stifle academic progress, cause eye strain, and result in persistent headaches, potentially leading to long-term vision complications.

Act now to ensure your child wears their glasses. Delaying until they are older is less effective. Embracing glasses at a young age nurtures their visual development and safeguards their future sight.

🌟 Embracing Autism: A Journey of Acceptance and Awareness 🌟

As a vision therapy clinic, we've had the privilege of working with individuals on the autism spectrum, and it has been an incredibly enlightening journey. Autism isn't a flaw to be fixed; it's a unique perspective to be understood and celebrated. Each individual brings a beautiful tapestry of strengths, talents, and passions that enrich our world in ways we couldn't imagine.

Through our sessions, we've witnessed firsthand the remarkable resilience and determination of those with autism. Every milestone, no matter how small, is a testament to their unwavering spirit and the incredible support system around them.

But our journey doesn't end with acceptance; it extends to advocacy and awareness. We must continue to educate ourselves and others, break down stereotypes, and create inclusive environments where everyone feels valued and understood.

Let's celebrate the diversity within the autism community and embrace the richness it brings to our lives. Together, let's spread love, compassion, and understanding, paving the way for a brighter, more inclusive future. 🧩💙

Strabismus, also known as crossed eyes is an ocular condition where your eyes don’t properly align. It can cause various visual problems, including double vision, reduced depth perception, and vision loss. Our vision therapy programs can be a valuable treatment to help correct your strabismus.Strabismus is a problem of eye and brain coordination, not a muscle problem. While surgeries may attempt to align the eyes, vision therapy treatment for strabismus is the only way to naturally restore depth perception and retrain the brain while also gaining the alignment of the eyes.If your child is too young to verbalize their vision problems, you can observe certain behaviors to determine whether you need to seek treatment, such as:

■Misaligned eyes
■Recurrent squinting or blinking
■Tilting the head to look at objects
■Eyes that don’t move together

If your child is slightly older, they may recognize they have double vision or their depth perception is off.

At Navajyoti Vision Therapy and Eye Clinic we individualize our treatment plan for each patient to help improve visual skills with exercises and therapeutic tools, such as specialized lenses, filters, balance boards, and digital simulations.

Come visit us if your loved ones has crossed eyes. Contact us for further details.

Strabismus, also known as an “eye turn” or “cross-eye”, is a condition characterized by the improper alignment of the eyes. One of the eyes may look straight ahead, while the other eye turns inward, outward, upward, or downward. The eye turn may be permanent, or may only occur occasionally. At times, the straight and misaligned eye may even alternate positions.

Vision therapy is an advanced and effective treatment regimen for strabismus. The goal of vision therapy is to teach the brain and eyes to work together to correct the eye misalignment and thus achieve clear and comfortable vision. Vision therapy can also strengthen neuro-visual processing to further alleviate challenges caused by the eye turn. I

If you or your child have been diagnosed with Strabismus schedule an appointment with us, We are sure to come into help.

Take a moment and watch this video to understand what amblyopia /lazy eye is.According to the National Institute of Health, amblyopia is the most common cause of visual impairment among children.

It is important to note that a child with amblyopia rarely has any symptoms. Comprehensive eye examinations are the best way to identify children who are at risk for or already have amblyopia.Do you or someone you know have a lazy eye? Get in touch with us today and we’ll offer you a highly effective vision therapy program for an enhanced quality of life.

The reliance on devices, and the resulting screen time (ST), before and after the 2020 pandemic, is part of the ‘new normal'.Screen time equates to near work and most often requires reading. Continual close eye work and a lack of outdoor play contribute to digital eye strain, dry eye syndrome and the most remarkable problem is today’s myopia epidemic.

Children who spend more time on using handheld devices and computers or watching television are more likely to exhibit behavior problems such as aggression, difficulties with attention, anxiety and depression.(Source: JAMA Psychiatry).In the review of data from 87 studies with nearly 160,000 participants age 12 years and younger, more screen time during the day was associated with an up to 20% higher risk for behavior problems, the data showed.

While embracing the benefits of a highly digitalised world, we need to simultaneously mitigate the potential risks they pose to the health of growing children. This can start with straightforward, practical behavioural lifestyle modifications. Children should spend time outdoors and physical activities. If you’ve noticed a change in your child’s vision over the past few months, or they’ve reported some of the symptoms , it’s best to arrange an eye test. We recommend that children have their eyes tested every year to ensure their eyes remain healthy during this important developmental stage.

हाम्रो Vision मस्तिष्क, आँखा र तिनीहरूलाई जोड्ने स्नायुहरूको विशाल तथा जटिल संयोजन हो। जन्ममा, यो visual system अझै अपरिपक्व हुन्छ र बच्चाको प्रारम्भिक वर्षहरूमा यसको विकास जारी रहन्छ।स्वस्थ आँखा र कूशल दृष्टिले बच्चाको महत्त्वपूर्ण milestonesहरूको सफल उपलब्धिलाई सक्षम गर्दछ।बच्चाहरूले एक वा दुवै आँखामा कमजोर दृष्टि भएको थाहा हुँदैन,त्यसैले उनीहरूले विरलै समस्याको गुनासो गर्छन्, विशेष गरी जब यसले एउटा आँखालाई मात्र असर गर्छ।त्यसैले आमाबाबु र शिक्षकहरूको लागि बच्चाहरूमा हून सक्ने सामान्य दृष्टि सम्बन्धित समस्याहरू बारे सचेत हुनु महत्त्वपूर्ण छ।

बालबालिकामा भएको दृष्टि सम्बन्धित कूनै पनि समस्या विस्तृत आँखा परीक्षणबाट पत्ता लाग्छ। प्रारम्भिक पहिचानले सफल उपचारको सम्भावना बढाउँछ।आँखा वा दृष्टि सम्बन्धित कुनै समस्या नदेखिए पनि, लगभग ६ महिनाको उमेरमा बच्चाको पहिलो दृष्टि र आँखा परीक्षण गराउनुपर्छ।स्तनपान गराॅउदा शिशुले Eye contact नगर्ने, टिभी नजिकै बस्ने वा किताब धेरै नजिक समात्ने,आँखामा डेडेपना(Squinting),आफ्नो टाउको एकतिर ढल्काउने,
एउटा आँखा चिम्लिने,बारम्बार आँखा मिच्ने, प्रकाशको लागि संवेदनशीलता हूनू,खेल्दा वा चल्दा आँखा-हात-शरीर समन्वयमा कठिनाइ हनू,
रंगीन गतिविधिहरू, पजलहरू, र अन्य विस्तृत गतिविधिहरू बेवास्ता गर्नू जस्ता व्यवहार दृष्टि सम्बन्धित समस्या सङ्केतहरू हून्।
यदि तपाइँको बच्चालाई यी मध्ये कुनै पनि संकेत देखेमा आफ्ना बच्चाको विस्तृत दृष्टि परीक्षण गराउनुपर्छ। हरेक बालबालिको दृष्टि सुनिश्चितामा सहयोग गरौं।
