You should aim to take children for their first eye examination at least by the time they are three years old, especially if there is a family history of wearing glasses.
Always make sure there is plenty of light when your child is doing some work like reading, writing, playing on computer.
Make sure they eat yellow fruits and green vegetables which contain vitamins and lutein-zeaxanthin which are very good for their eyes.
If your child is computer crazy or a bookworm ensure they take regular breaks from such close work. Although there is no conclusive evidence to suggest either activity causes visual problems or spectacle powers, they can certainly lead to tired, red and sore eyes.
When your child is playing certain sports, such as badminton, squash or swimming get them to wear protective glasses so they dont risk a dangerous eye injury.
Do not let them use eye drop without the consultation of an eye doctor.
To prevent from serious injuries, keep them away from sharp, pointed objects.
Make sure your kid wash his or her eyes with cold water slowly after coming in from playing in grounds, cycling or involved in any activities which is near or surrounded by dust areas.
Childrens having glasses should undergo eye checkups every 6 months till their glass numbers stabilizes.
