School’s out. Screen time is up... and your child’s eyes might feel the strain. Too much time on phones, tablets, and games can lead to digital eye fatigue—even in young eyes. This summer, try the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. And don’t forget—summer is a great time to schedule that annual eye exam before the back-to-school rush. #HealthyVision #KidsEyeHealth #DigitalEyeStrain #SummerTips #OphthalmologyCare

Your diet plays a major role in protecting your vision. Nutrients like omega-3s, vitamin A, C, E, and zinc help support eye health and may lower the risk of conditions like macular degeneration and dry eye. While whole foods are the best source, supplements may help fill any nutritional gaps. Taking care of your vision starts with what you put on your plate. What’s your go-to eye-healthy food?
