Children’s eyesight is central to their learning, development, and quality of life. Yet, many childhood vision problems remain undiagnosed until they begin to significantly affect school performance, social interaction, or daily activities. Children’s Eye Health & Safety Month (August 15 – September 15) is a national reminder of the importance of protecting our children’s vision through awareness, prevention, and early detection.
At MABIFUS Medical Diagnostics, we are committed to helping parents and guardians safeguard their children’s sight with comprehensive, safe, and accurate screening services.
Why Eye Health Matters in Children
Children often do not realise or communicate that they have vision problems. Left undetected, issues such as lazy eye (amblyopia), crossed eyes (strabismus), or refractive errors (near-sightedness, far-sightedness, astigmatism) can affect their:
- Academic success: Difficulty reading or seeing the board.
- Play and sports: Poor coordination or slow reaction.
- Confidence and behaviour: Struggling socially or withdrawing from activities.
Early detection allows for effective treatment and intervention, ensuring children reach their full potential without limitations caused by preventable vision problems.
How Parents Can Protect Children’s Eyesight
- Book Regular Screenings: Annual check-ups even when no symptoms are present.
- Promote Eye-Safe Habits: Limit screen time, ensure good lighting during reading and study.
- Nutrition for Eye Health: Encourage foods rich in Vitamin A, C, and E — carrots, leafy greens, and eggs.
- Protect Against Injuries: Use protective eyewear for sports or outdoor activities.
- Educate Children: Teach them not to rub their eyes excessively and to alert adults if vision feels blurry.
