June is Child Vision Awareness Month!

When was your child’s last eye exam?

A school screening or pediatrician screening isn’t enough to catch functional vision problems like eye tracking, focusing issues, or convergence problems.

👀 At Family Eye Wellness, we provide thorough pediatric eye exams that go way beyond 20/20. Start the summer with clear vision and a healthy foundation for back-to-school success!

Here’s a simple trick to reduce digital eye strain and protect your vision: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

Why it matters:
📱 Prolonged screen use can cause digital eye strain
💤 It leads to dry eyes, blurry vision, and even headaches
🧠 Your eyes need breaks just like your brain does!

✅ Great for kids doing homework
✅ Essential for adults at work

Protect your eyes with smart habits. And don’t forget—regular eye exams can help catch early signs of strain or vision changes.

Spending just 2 hours a day outdoors can reduce the risk of myopia (nearsightedness) in children. Natural sunlight and focusing on distant objects help the eyes develop properly—something screens just can’t replicate. With more screen time and less outdoor play, we’re seeing a rise in childhood myopia at younger ages.

Encourage:

✅ Outdoor playtime daily

✅ Breaks from near work and devices (follow the 20-20-20 rule)

✅ Regular pediatric eye exams

Let’s keep those eyes healthy for a lifetime of learning and exploring!🧠💡

📅 Schedule your child’s eye exam with Dr. Pooja J. Patel at Family Eye Wellness today!
