Parents are often anxious about their kids' eye health and are equally confused about how to take care of this vital organ. Here are some ways for parents to boost your kids' eye health. Firstly, you should ask your kid to practice the 20/20/20 approach, which means that after 20 minutes of computer work or near reading ask your child to focus at an object placed 20 feet away for 20 seconds.Remember to relax and blink frequently while taking these breaks. Secondly, encourage your kid to do outdoor activities. Recent studies have shown that children spending more time outdoors have a slower progression of myopia or nearsightedness, which is usually common among school going children. Thirdly,offer your kid with a balanced diet. Lutein and zeaxanthin, carotenoid pigments are essential components for eye health. These are the same components that impart yellow or orange colour to various common foods such as cantaloupe, pasta, corn, carrots, orange/yellow peppers, fish, salmon and eggs. Fourthly,practice good focusing techniques. Always encourage your child to follow good focusing habits, which mean to avoid near reading and activities that could lead to too much eye strain.
