"In the 11- and 15-year-old boys and girls, myopia risk increased with more daily near work time & decreased with more daily outdoors time." Screen use is "near work." Schools can no longer ignore this risk. @williamdoylenyc #myopia #recess #obesity #play https://t.co/QVQ6LNZHyO

It makes sense that August is Children’s Eye Health & Safety Month, because that’s when they go back to school and usually get eye screenings. But did you know eye screenings at school aren’t a comprehensive eye exam? You can only get one of those from a family eye doctor.

[KidsSeeSuccess @KidsSeeSuccess]

We are thrilled by the news that #NewJersey once again declared August Children's #Vision and #Learning Month! As millions of students prepare to go back to in-person learning, advocating for #eyeexams is critical to their success.

“It is important to note that playing outside allows the eyes to have a break from focusing and straining on screens. The eye muscles become relaxed, and the kids burn energy! It is a good idea to remember UV-blocking sunglasses too!“ – Dr. Wruble, OD #ThinkAboutYourEyes

On this #WorldOptometryDay an important reflection from @KovinNaidoo1 on how optometrists can impact the future of #myopia for children.

[IAPB @IAPB1]

📈 It is projected that by 2050 half of the world’s population will be myopic.

The response to this public health challenge has to be led by #Optometry, writes Kovin Naidoo ... #worldoptometryday @SeeChange4all

A great article from @Devex highlighting the stigmas that girls and women face when it comes to accessing good #vision. With vision so closely linked to learning it's time to breakdown these barriers so that all girls can reach their potential.

[Devex @devex]

Women are more likely to suffer from vision impairment than men, but barriers prevent them from seeking care. @Essilor and the @VisionCost look at why those barriers exist and what can be done.
