Children posess so much wonder and creativity. They’re smart and intelligent and with the right encouragement and support environment they can achieve anything. But, if they struggle to see well, that can dim their bright future. That’s why routine eye exams are key to your children’s future.

Having your child’s eyes routinely checked can help make sure they are developing correctly as well as helping them to see clearly. When they can see clearly, they are more engaged in the classroom and typically perform better. Also, it can allow us to get a general sense of your child’s overall health as there are many indicators in the eyes.

We cannot stress enough the importance of maintaining routine exams and the proper diet for their eye health. If you have questions, contact our team today!

According to WebMD, there are several foods that are best for your eyes. Here are a few of the lesser known ones:

Raw Red Peppers – Per calorie, they provide the best source of vitamin C. Vitamin C is good for the blood vessels in your eye. There’s even evidence to support Vitamin C reducing the risk of getting cataracts.
Sunflower Seeds & Nuts – An ounce of these seeds or almonds as has half the amount of vitamin E that the USDA recommends each day.
Sweet Potatoes – Part of the orange colored food group, these are packed full of beta carotene.
Squash – Full of lutein and zeaxanthin, these are great for you. Especially because your body cannot make these nutrients on their own.
