Here are three friendly tips to help reduce screen time and protect your childrenโs eyes:
๐จ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ฌ๐ก ๐๐๐ซ๐๐๐ง-๐
๐ซ๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ฌ: Designate certain areas in your home, like the dining room or bedrooms, as screen-free zones. This can help children disconnect and give their eyes a much-needed break.
๐๐๐ง๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐๐จ๐จ๐ซ ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฌ: Physical activities not only contribute to overall health but also help in reducing screen time. Encourage your children to play outside, engage in sports, or even take a walk in the park.
โ๏ธPromote the 20-20-20 Rule: Teach your children to take a 20-second break every 20 minutes and look at something 20 feet away. This simple rule can help reduce eye strain caused by staring at screens for extended periods.
Remember, itโs all about balance. Digital devices are a part of our lives, but with some mindful practices, we can ensure they donโt impact our childrenโs eye health adversely.
If you have any concerns about your child's eye health, please don't hesitate to contact us at bit.ly/SeeDrKhosla. We offer eye exams for all ages.
Celebrating heritage, cultures, embracing the past, and looking forward to the future this ! ๐

We will be back to serve you at 8:30 AM on Tuesday. Enjoy the celebrations and have a safe and happy long weekend! ๐

๐ Ever wondered how well you can see beyond your direct line of sight?
A visual field analyzer measures your peripheral visionโhow well you can see above, below, and to the sides of what your eyes are focused on. This important device helps us spot early signs of sight-threatening conditions like glaucoma. It might sound serious, but it can be interesting and fun, too!

๐๏ธ ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ: Over 66% of Canadians have recently experienced new or worsening eye symptoms. This uptick in awareness underscores the importance of regular eye check-ups.

- Genetics play a role; a family history of AMD heightens your risk1.
- Smoking: Cigarette smoking is strongly linked to the development of AMD1.
- High Blood Pressure: Hypertension is another contributing factor
-Diet: A diet high in saturated fats can increase the risk. Carrying excess weight, especially around the abdomen, can also increase the risk.
-Sun Exposure: Long-term exposure to the sun without proper eye protection is also a risk factor

June is Cataract Awareness Month! ๐
As we journey through life, many of us may encounter cataracts, a common part of aging. But age isn't the only factor! Hereโs a quick rundown of the other risk factors that can contribute to developing cataracts:
๐๏ธ Eye Conditions and Injuries: Previous eye infections, injuries, or surgeries can lead to cataract formation.
๐ Medications: Long-term use of certain medications, like steroids and some cancer treatments, can increase cataract risk.
๐ Environmental Exposure: High exposure to intense heat, radiation, or UV light (non-visible sunlight) can accelerate cataract development.
๐ฆ Health Conditions: Diseases such as diabetes, arthritis, and metabolic disorders are linked to a higher likelihood of cataracts.
๐ฌ Smoking: Itโs another reason to quitโsmoking significantly raises your cataract risk.
๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ Family History: Genetics play a role. If your family has a history of cataracts, you might be more prone to them.
๐ Nearsightedness (Myopia): This common vision condition can also be a contributing factor.
๐คฐPrenatal Infections: Infections or inflammations during pregnancy, such as measles or rubella, can affect the eye health of the baby and increase cataract risk later in life.
Awareness is key! Regular eye check-ups and taking protective measures can help in managing these risks. Letโs take steps to safeguard our vision. ๐๐

๐๐ข๐ ๐๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐ง๐จ๐ฐ? According to a survey conducted by The Harris Poll for the American Academy of Ophthalmology, many people fear vision loss more than memory loss, hearing loss, or speech loss. Prioritize your eye health with regular check-ups and proper eye care.
Here are five key facts that highlight the importance of eye health awareness and regular check-ups to prevent or mitigate vision loss:
โข ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐จ๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ ๐๐๐ฃ๐จ๐ซ ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐ง: People fear vision loss more than cancer, stroke, heart disease, and other serious ailments.
โข ๐๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐๐๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ : Many are unaware that eye diseases can cause sight loss before symptoms appear, as the brain adapts to vision loss, making it difficult to notice the decline.
โข ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฎ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐โ๐ฌ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐ก๐ซ๐๐๐ญ: Glaucoma often has no warning signs and can lead to significant vision loss before itโs detected.
