Eye Health And Kids

Eyes Health and Kids

My daughter had some eye allergy when we were travelling to India. When we got it checked by the  ophthalmologist  she said it’s allergy. After complete eye check up we came to know she needs glasses for far vision. I was wondering why we couldn’t  know about this problem early. She never complained of any eye symptoms.

I had got her eye check up done before 6 months in Melbourne. We realized as in Melbourne we don’t have black board reading and writing from far distance. It’s mostly on Ipads / Laptops so this problem was never seen.

Let’s talk today about –

Eye complaints in Children.

  1. Eye allergies ( Conjunctivitis) This is the commonest problem kids have.
  2. Redness of eyes
  3. Itching of eyes
  4. Dryness of eyes
  5. Farsightedness( Hyperopia)
  6. Nearsightedness ( Myopia)

Causes of eye problems-

  1. Deficiency Vit A ,E, B12.
  2. Due to dust.
  3. Strain on eyes due to screen time.
  4. Eye infections.
  5. Hay fevers etc.

Precautions to be taken –

  • Eat well
  • Green leafy vegetables like spinach, kale, and collards
  • Salmon, tuna, and other oily fish
  • Eggs, nuts, beans, and other non meat protein sources
  • Oranges and other citrus fruits or juices
  • Oysters and pork
  • If your eyes are dry, blink more.
  • Rest your eyes every 20 minutes. Look 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Get up at least every 2 hours and take a 15-minute break.
  • The role of food rich in antioxidants is very important as it protects eyes against the free radicals.

The Importance of Eye Exams-

Due to the increase in screen time  we should consult an ophthalmologist every year for the thorough kids eye check up.

Even if your pediatrician doesn’t see a problem, there may be other signs that your child needs a more thorough eye exam

Some of the indications  can be as follows

  • Poor school performance.
  • Not wanting to go to school.
  • Difficulty paying attention.
  • Difficulty when reading and writing.
  • Trouble seeing information on the chalkboard.
  • Blurry or double vision.
  • Headaches or eye pain.
  • Taking longer than normal to complete homework.

Eyes are the most beautiful gift through which we can enjoy and cherish this beautiful world around us.

Take GOOD care of your eye.

Eczema

Today let’s talk about something very important. We will talk about Skin Ailments specially Eczema.

Definition- Eczema – Skin Ailments  ( Atopic Dermatitis) –

It is the hyperactive response of the body’s immune system to the allergens.

Conventional Treatment 

  • Generally this tendency is controlled by application of ointments, creams, lotions, and some anti -allergic medicines.
  • In extreme cases steroid based creams and oral medicines are prescribed.

 Consequences –

  • Have we ever thought what kind of long term damage is done specially in kids when we use steroids ointments and specially oral medicine?
  • They give you temporary relief but suppress the body response.
  • When you take steroids based medicines it relieves your symptoms superficially but pushes the disease inside your body from the skin.
  • These medicines basically suppress your immune system.
  • It is very commonly observed that these cases of skin progress to more serious diseases like Asthma,Bronchitis, Autoimmune disorders which need life long treatment.

Health levels- 

  • Mental
  • Emotional
  • Physical
  • Mental level is the deepest of all and Physical is the outer one.
  • If we don’t suppress our physical complaints by excess n unnecessary use of medicines we will be saved at our Mental level which is the most important part of our health to be in Balance and Harmony. 

Precautions-

  • Few simple things which can really save lots of health issues to progress further.
  • When you are diagnosed with some skin conditions try not to apply any creams specially the steroid based
  • Try to find out the allergens causing it.
