There are lots of things you can do to help protect your child’s sight.
-You should eat well during pregnancy and after. Your toddler will be healthier and you’re setting a good example for them.
-Provide nutritious well balanced meals for your child. (Vitamin A is essential for your toddler’s healthy vision and is commonly found in carrots, leafy spinach, avocados, kiwis, and prunes.)
-Provide your child with age appropriate toys that are free from sharp edges.
-Give your child toys that encourage child development.
-Provide sun protection for your toddler’s eyes in the form of a sun hat, and sunglasses.
-Have your child’s eyes examined frequently by an optometrist.
-Watch out for any of the warning signs that your child could have a vision problem.
