Visique is making it easy
to take care of young eyes.
Because 80% of children's learning is visual, it makes sense to
look after their eyes from an early age. That's why Visique is
giving free sunglasses to new entrants to help protect their eyes
from New Zealand's powerful UV rays.
The dangers of UV rays
Young eyes have larger pupils, which let more light into the
inner parts of the eye, including harmful UV rays. This can lead to
long-term eye damage and cataracts later in life. That is why
Visique recommends children be fitted for sunglasses from their
first day of school.
As well as keeping young eyes safe in the
sun, be sure to talk to your Visique optometrist if you notice your
children displaying the following symptoms:
- Lose their place while reading or use fingers to maintain their
place.
- Avoid close work particularly reading.
- Hold reading materials closer than normal.
- Tend to rub their eyes or have headaches.
- One eye drifts or aims in a different direction than the
other.
- Close or cover one eye or squint.
- Omit or confuse small words when reading.
- Seem to have a short attention span for their age.
- Have poor hand-eye coordination for activities like playing
with a ball.
- Consistently perform below potential.
