Schedule your loved ones for an eye exam. 👁

🧠Good eye health is vital for a child's brain development. Vision fuels the brain with data. It helps build hand-eye coordination, spatial skills, and learning. Poor sight can delay cognitive and motor growth

👀The Philippine Eye Research Institute (PERI) recommend that all children undergo vision screening for lazy eye (amblyopia) and crossed eyes (strabismus) at least once using an age-appropriate chart.

👶🏻At 6 Months: Screen for basic eye health and structural problems.
🧒🏻At 2 to 3 Years: Check visual acuity and eye alignment.
👦🏻At 5 Years (Preschool/Kindergarten entry): Formal vision screening before school starts to catch refractive errors early.
🧑🏻For school age (6+ years): Routine follow-up exams every 1 to 2 years.

Children with special needs and high-risk infants can also benefit from regular ophthalmology evaluation and monitoring.

💢Key warning signs to watch out for
😵‍💫Squinting or rubbing eyes often
😵‍💫Tilting the head or covering one eye
😵‍💫Clumsiness or poor hand-eye coordination
😵‍💫Sitting too close to the TV or books
😵‍💫Headaches after reading or screen time

💯Simple Ways to Protect Vision and Brains
🤓Get exams early: Schedule a functional vision check around six months and regular screenings as they grow.
🤓Play outside: Natural light helps lower the risk of nearsightedness.
🤓Eat well: Include nutrients like Vitamin A and Omega-3 fatty acids (DHA) for eye and brain health.
🤓Limit screens: Give regular breaks to prevent eye strain and get to know the recommendations for screentime in infants and children
