June 23, 2016 by Team Kuware Leave a Comment

When you spend hours on end focusing or staring at things, you end up stressing your eyes, which ends up leading to eye strain. Symptoms of eye strain include watery eyes, burning eyes, and even neck or shoulder pain.

1. The 20-20-20 rule for Healthy Vision:

Set an alarm for every 20 minutes. When the alarm sounds, give your eyes a 20 second break, look at something 20 feet away. 20 minutes-20 seconds-20 feet. The 20-20-20 rule is a great exercise, designed to reduce stress on your eyes, and is especially useful if you spend a lot of time staring at a computer screen.

2. Keep your work 12-15 inches from your eyes

If you are doing something that requires careful attention, such as sewing, knitting, or even reading a book, try to keep the object 12-15 inches away from your eyes. This, combined with plenty of light on what you are focusing on, helps reduce the stress on your eyes and promotes healthier vision.

If you include these tips into your day-to-day life, your eyes will benefit from greatly reduced stress and healthy vision!

Data collected by NHANES & NHIS show that close to 14 million kids (Aged 12 years and above) have reported visual impairment. Out of them, there were chances to improve the vision of around 11 million kids using refractive correction.

Our emphasis is to make your realize the importance of early eye exams in life. As understood, diseases related to vision are not only dependent on age. There are various other factors that affect health of our vision. Development of visuals skills in a child is fully completed at the age of 5 years, any defects identified before this can be treated.

Indications that a parent should look for are –

i) Squinting or directions in which eyes point
ii) Moving head to stress upon one eye
iii) Reading distance from face is too less
iv) Child complains of frequent headaches
v) Unable to judge distance
vi) Blurred Vision / Double Vision

This summer vacation, take your child to the nearest eye doctor or visit any Devlyn Optical store near you. You can also do an online test using Devlyn Optical Online Vision Test.
