Protect vision:

Eye protection is very important. Here are some tips to protect your eyes. Maintain a good reading posture and the height of the table and chair should be moderate. When reading, the distance between your eyes and the book should be at least 30 cm. You should rest for 3 to 5 minutes every 30 to 40 minutes after reading or using the computer. In the sun, you should wear good quality sunglasses that block UV rays. Focus on a balanced diet, which includes moderate amounts of vitamin A, such as watermelon, tomato, papaya, and carrot. It should not be read in the car or in bright light. Do not buy eye drops when your eyes are restless and consult your doctor first. If you have eye problems or vision problems, you should seek medical help as soon as possible.

When you use a computer:

Outside the window, ceiling light or glare reflects off a fluorescent screen and enters the eye, creating tension and blur in the eye. The hood can be used to lower the ceiling light and avoid having a fluorescent screen in front of the window. Fluorescent display Choose light background colors to maximize the difference between light and dark, with darker sources. The fluorescent screen should be placed directly in front of the body and slightly below the line of sight so that the line of sight can see the fluorescent screen slightly below. Clean your fluorescent screen regularly so dust build-up doesn't affect clarity. Let more eyelids and tears moisten your eyes. Artificial tears can be used if necessary.

When you wear contact lenses:

Make the most of your glasses for the day. The wearing time should be in accordance with the instructions of a professional optometrist. Clean, rinse and disinfect the lens every day. Soft and hard lenses should be protein-free once a week. If you are sensitive to chemical disinfectants, you can switch to hydrogen peroxide or thermal disinfection, but you should consult a professional optometrist first. Do not use hydrogen peroxide to disinfect the soft colored glass, otherwise the color of the glass will be colored by hydrogen peroxide. Make regular follow-up visits to wear contact lenses and eyes.

Children four years of age or older may receive "Vision Screening Preschool" The Family Health Services Department of Health provides a "preschool vision screening" service for four- to five-year-old preschoolers.

Why should my child's vision be screened?

The child's visual development will end at the age of eight. If vision is abnormal during this developmental period and is not corrected, vision development may be impaired. In everyday life, parents or caregivers had a hard-eyed boy. Through vision screening, children with abnormal vision can be detected first, so referrals and treatments can be arranged so that they can develop vision and vision in the future.

Common causes of abnormal vision:

• Embryopia
• Famine
• More serious bias issues (such as proximity, observation or hostility)

Does a child need a vision check to see if they are wearing glasses?

It does not require a vision check, but should follow the instructions of an optometrist or ophthalmologist to check and follow the diopter regularly.

Why is vision screening done only at the age of four?

Young children have limited comprehension and expression skills, but by the age of four or five, they are usually able to co-operate in exams, so the results are more reliable. Children at this age are still experiencing developing vision. Early detection and treatment of amblyopia and related vision problems will result in better vision and vision development.

What items are included in the vision screening?

Items checked by an optometrist / orthodontist for preschoolers.

Take part in:

• The first goal.
• Eye coordination (including strabismus)

If the child does not have eyes, he will:

• Early bias test.
• Day test

Not included

• Check out Color Insights.
• Eye diseases (such as glaucoma, retinopathy, etc.)
• Evaluate the level of foresight, foresight or hostility.

How can parents work together if their children want to check their vision?

The test can be done easily if the children work together. Parents can:

• Do not arrange a check-up while the baby is asleep.
• The pictures in the booklet are used to help your child check the test.
• Arrange for yourself or a caregiver who knows your child will be involved in the checkup.

What does it mean to pass a vision screening?

This means that the child may not have embolism or strabismus, but there is still the possibility that developmental problems will appear later in life. In this way, parents can arrange for their daughter's son to study, creating a vision provided by the Student Health Service Department of Health in a grade one primary school.

What does Vision Fail Screening Mean?

This means asking the child for tests and follow-up. The Maternal Health and Child Care Center will make the following arrangements based on the results of the check. This is an issue that the general prejudice - a prejudice that deepens power - has been suggested by the community. If the child is suspected of having amblyopia, strabismus, or severe refractive problems - consult an ophthalmologist for follow-up.

After passing the vision check, does it mean that the child does not face problems of prejudice?

No vision, myopia, unstable conditions, etc. can be reduced if the child's vision is capable. Like other types of screening, vision screening cannot detect all vision problems. If necessary, parents can consult the optometry community so that their children have test bias. The child's vision is still developing. If parents are not skeptical of their children's point of view, or find out if your child has a habit that is not uncommon when you look at things, such as: often bowing or blinking, alive or Mention the eyes so they can see things. Always look into the distance, walk very closely and program so that your children can see their doctor or optometrist community immediately.
