Thank you for joining me on another episode of What I Wish My Mother Taught Me. In this episode, I chat with Dana. Dana is a mother of two sons and an Optometric physician. Dana specializes in pediatrics and myopia management. Dana and her husband, Luke, operate the blog LukeKnows. I invited Dana back to the podcast to talk more in-depth about the importance of eye care in kids. Dana speaks candidly about eye care, she gives us tidbits about steps we can take to prevent bigger health issues.
Check out Dana's blog post on WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR CHILD’S FIRST EYE EXAM.
In this episode, Dana discuses childhood Myopia. Myopia is also commonly known as “nearsighted” or “shortsighted”. With myopia the ability to see up close is preserved but far away is blurry unless one wears glasses or contact lenses. Read the article on the LukeKnows blog site and learn how to slow down short-sidedness in children.
Highlights:
The diseases that are preventable with regular eye care.
How eyesight affects a child's development.
The importance of eye care
