Andrea Bocelli

I had the privilege of watching world renowned Italian Tenor and Icon Andrea Bocelli live in concert in Pretoria last weekend as part of his South African Tour

His sight was impaired from birth due to congenital glaucoma and at the age of 12 he lost his vision completely

Despite being blind his great passion for music saw him become a record breaking artist as he celebrates 30 years of bringing people together

Andrea Bocelli's performance was absolutely captivating connecting to his audience with his powerful voice and emotive delivery as he seamlessly blends classical and pop elements

THE IMPACT OF DIGITAL DEVICES ON CHILDRENS VISION.

Children spend far more time looking at tablets, smart phones and computer screens close-up, leading to school-age myopia. This also leads to digital eye strain as the eyes don’t relax by not spending enough time looking into the distance. We also naturally blink less when staring at screens for long periods and this leads to tired eyes.
Encourage your child to follow the 20-20-20 rule: Look up from the screen every 20 minutes and focus at least 20 feet (6 meters) away for 20 seconds. They should also limit screen time and take frequent breaks to spend time outdoors to relax their eyes and lower the risk of myopia and digital eye strain. WHO recommends no more than 1 hour of screen time for children under the age of 5 as it is also linked to physical inactivity and poor sleep patterns.

Back to school – Care for your Child’s Eyes

It’s a New Year 2025 and children, parents and teachers everywhere are preparing for Back to School!
Don’t forget to check your child’s eyesight.
All children should have their eyes tested at pre-school age. This can be done at a primary healthcare service, and if required by a paediatric optometrist or ophthalmologist.
Even though many school-age children are far-sighted, as they age, their eyes also grow and far-sightedness often improves on its own. However, significant refractive error including far-sightedness (hyperopia), short-sightedness (myopia), or astigmatism can lead to amblyopia or “lazy eye” if left uncorrected. Treatment includes patching therapy and spectacles.
