What are the most common eye conditions in children?

Eye conditions commonly seen in children include:

1. Amblyopia: Amblyopia (also called “lazy eye”) happens when your child’s brain and one eye aren’t working together properly and the brain favors the other better-seeing eye. They'll have reduced vision in the non-favored eye. This is the most common cause of vision impairment in children.

2. Strabismus: Strabismus is a lack of coordination between your child’s eyes, which causes the eyes to cross or turn out. Your child’s eyes don’t focus together on a single image at the same time. This can cause reduced 3D vision and/or the brain may favor one eye over the other, which can cause loss of vision in the non-favored eye (amblyopia, see above).

3. Conjunctivitis: Conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye, is an inflammation of the clear tissue that lines the inside surface of your eyelid and the outer coating of your eye. This tissue is called conjunctiva. It helps keep your eyelid and eyeball moist. Pink eye can be highly contagious, especially among children. Although it doesn’t damage vision, it causes itchy, red, blurry, tearing and discharge.

CAUSES OF POOR EYESIGHT
While poor eyesight can, and of is, hereditary, there are habits you may have formed that will eventually lead to diminished vision. The following are some of the most common bad-for-you habits to cut back on.

1. TOO MUCH SCREEN TIME
Working for long hours on the computer or reading on your smartphone can lead to dry eye, blurry vision, and other health concerns. Computer eye strain can be combated with digital screen protection glasses but you should be monitoring your hours of screen time. Take regular breaks every twenty minutes to look away from the screen, observe an object in the distance, and give your eyes a break. You should also blink slowly about ten times to help lubricate your eyes.

2. LOW WATER INTAKE
If you don’t drink enough water your eyes are more likely to become dehydrated. This will result in puffy, dry, red eyes. There isn’t an exact number of cups to drink a day. You should try to consume around 15.5 cups as a male or 11.5 cups as a female. The best judge of hydration, however, is urine color. Aim for urine that is light yellow in color. Clear urine may be a sign you are overhydrating.

3. POOR DIET
Just as you should be paying attention to your water intake, you should watch the food you’re putting into your body. A bad diet is bad for your eyes. Foods our eyes love include leafy greens, eggs, nuts, and seafood.

4. LACK OF SLEEP
Eye fatigue and strain can set in once a person begins getting less than six to eight hours of sleep per night. You aren’t the only one who needs rest. When you get enough sleep you also give your eyes time to be continuously lubricated.

5. RUBBING EYES TOO OFTEN
Rubbing your eyes may seem like a harmless habit but it can actually lead to new or worsening eye problems. If you rub your eyes too often you can cause myopia and glaucoma to worsen, both directly affecting your eyesight. Keratoconus can actually be started due to excessive eye rubbing. This is when the cornea reshapes and thins into a cone shape when it should be round.

6. SKIPPING OUT ON EYE EXAMS
Optometrists are able to detect vision problems and eye diseases during regular eye exams. When you avoid these exams you may not catch developing problems as quickly. Without a warning sign, you have little preventative measure against these issues. While scheduling an appointment with an optometrist may seem like a hassle at first, it’s a smart long-term investment in your eye health.

7. SMOKING
When you think smoking and health problems, your eyes probably aren’t the first thing that comes to mind. While heart disease and lung cancer are major concerns for smokers, vision loss is too. The most common eye condition risks worsened by smoking are age-related macular degeneration (AMD), glaucoma, dry eye, and cataracts. In fact, smokers are more likely to develop AMD compared to non-smokers. Four times more likely to be exact. Smokers are also more likely to develop cataracts.

8. NOT PROTECTING EYES FROM SUNLIGHT
Did you know you can sunburn your eyeballs? Pretty wild, right. Photokeratitis is a sunburn on the surface of the eye. But sunburnt eyes are only one of the problems that arise when you don’t wear sunglasses often enough. Those who don’t protect their eyes from the sun are more likely to develop macular degenerations, cancer, and cataracts.

9. WORKING FOR PROLONGED PERIODS IN DIM LIGHT
Just as staring at a screen all day can hurt your eyes, working in dim light can lead to similar problems. Your eyes have to work harder to focus which can tire them out leading to eye fatigue. But just as dim light is bad for your eyesight, bright light isn’t much better. Check your workspace and home and make any necessary changes to help relieve your eyes.

Myopia is commonly that can be corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses or surgery. But in rare cases, a progressive type called degenerative myopia develops that can be very serious and is a leading cause of legal blindness.

Especially during growth spurts of the pre-teen and teen years, when the body grows quickly, myopia can get worse. At the age of 20, myopia usually levels off. It’s also possible for adults to be diagnosed with myopia. When this happens, it’s usually due to visual stress or a disease like diabetes or cataracts.

Visual stress can be caused by spending too much time doing up-close activities, such as reading or doing computer work. Eye experts believe that your focusing muscles may get stuck in “near gear” from overusing them this way.

If you are an adult experiencing sudden nearsightedness, floaters (sort of like spots floating through your field of vision), flashes of light or shadows, or sudden sight loss in one eye, contact an eye care provider immediately to rule out a more serious health condition.

How to protect your eyes from seen and unseen danger?

UV Protection:
- UV light can "sunburn" the eye's surface and cause benign yellowish growths on the human eye

-Prolonged exposure to harmful UVA and UVB radiation over time can contribute to serious, age-related eye conditions or diseases

-These diseases include cataracts and macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in people over age 60

-Only lens materials or lens treatments that promise 100% protection against both UVA and UVB rays protect your eyes fully from the harmful rays of the sun. Demand 100% UV protection.

Glare Protection:
-In daylight, glare can occur when walking indoors to outdoors, moving from shade to sunlight, even from reflected light off of surfaces like cars or sidewalks.

-At night, glare can occur from oncoming headlights while driving, or from bright reflections off of wet roads, even signs.

-Glare can impair visual comfort and visual quality, which can diminish healthy sight.

-Anti-reflective (AR) treatments are available for many lens products to help protect your eyes. AR treatments are proven to significantly reduce glare while increasing visual comfort.

All patients with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes are at risk for DR. It is caused by damage to blood vessels in the back of the eye (retina). The longer you have diabetes, the more likely you are to have DR.

People with this condition may not notice changes in their vision until the eye damage is severe. This is why it is so important for people with diabetes to have a comprehensive eye exam each year. DR has four stages. Treatment is usually not required during his first three stages of DR. To prevent the progression of diabetic retinopathy, people with diabetes should monitor their blood sugar, blood pressure, and blood cholesterol levels. In the fourth stage of DR, called proliferative retinopathy, there are treatments that reduce vision loss but do not cure DR.

Warning signs of diabetic retinopathy include blurred vision, gradual vision loss, floaters, shadows or lack of vision, and blurred vision at night. People with diabetes are also at increased risk of cataracts and glaucoma.

Take care your eyes please !!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

1. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common condition that affects the middle part of your vision. It usually first affects people in their 50s and 60s.
2. It does not cause total blindness. But it can make everyday activities like reading and recognising faces difficult.
3. Without treatment, your vision may get worse. This can happen gradually over several years ("dry AMD"), or quickly over a few weeks or months ("wet AMD").
4. The exact cause is unknown. It's been linked to smoking, high blood pressure, being overweight and having a family history of AMD.

Tips for your eye health :)

Having a balance diet which helps to strengthen and protect yours from serious eye disease.

Lets do it together so that together we have healthy eyes

Our eyesight is one of most important senses: 80% of what we perceive comes through our sense of sight. By protecting our eyes, it will reduce the odds of blindness and vision loss while also staying on top of any developing eye diseases such as cataracts and glaucoma.

Eye Health = Brain Health

Healthy brain function requires healthy vision. The brain is the most important organ that allows us to live complex lives. Given that the optic nerve connects the eye to the brain, a healthy codependent relationship is necessary. Keeping your eyes healthy keeps your brain healthy and improves your overall quality of life.

Good vision contributes to better motor skills, better driving skills, better learning and comprehension, and a better quality of life.
