"Creative minds for a chal lenging future." (NC)--As we head towards March Break it is important to note that the average North American child now spends one to three hours per day with his or her eyes on a computer screen. As a result, many leading pediatric eye doctors believe that the startling increase of nearsightedness (myopia) in children worldwide is a direct conse quence of avid computer use. To guard against early, damage to your child's eyes, consider these Hakim Optical tips: · Schedule a comprehensive eye exam as your child enters kinder garten, including near-point (comput er and reading) and distance testing. · Schedule an eye exam before school begins every year. · The recommended distance for children between the monitor and the eye is 18-28 inches. Any closer risks eye strain. · Be aware of behaviour that indi cates problems such as eye redness, frequent rubbing of the eyes, unusual posture, or complaints of blurriness or eye fatigue. In Ontario, where OHIP no longer covers eye exams for people age 20 to 64, Hakim Optical is offsetting this expense with a deduction of $50 from the cost of your new glasses.
