LIFESTYLE MONDAY

EYE EXAM; WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
The eyes they say are the windows to the body, and hence the importance of an eye examination goes beyond just making sure your vision is not blurry.

🗝KEY
👶🏾Children from birth to adolescent are recommended to have an eye exam once every six months.
👩🏾Adults are recommended to have an eye exam once every year.

The Importance
👁Eye exam helps academic performance.
80% of learning (especially in children) occurs through vision, and the tendency to fail a course or class is 3 times higher for a student with poor vision. Detecting and correcting visual conditions early will sure add up to academic performance.

👁Refractive Error (mainly Myopia) is becoming an epidemic. Statistics show that the occurance of refractive errors is growing faster than ever. Uncorrected refractive errors in children turn to worsen over time, leading to some serious future risks like Glaucoma and retinal detachment.

👁Vision screening is not a substitute for eye exam. Vision screening only sorts out the obvious conditions, leaving the hidden and most threatening ones for an exam to unveil. The fact that you pass a vision screening doesn't guarantee good eye health.

👁Glaucoma. This condition causes irreversible blindness, and over 700, 000 Ghanaians who have it are not even aware the do. An eye exam will detect glaucoma early and hence begin management, so as to maintain a reasonably good vision for long.

2UE FOR KIDS
Every Tuesday, we talk to you about your child's eye health, and suggest to you some management and preventive measures that will help give your child better sight for a better future.

TODAY'S TOPIC
PAYING ATTENTION TO VISUAL PROBLEMS IN PRE-SCHOOL CHILDREN
Pre School children are those within the ages of 3 to 6 years. At this stage, the child is still developing visual skills. Hence, an undetected / uncorrected visual error may become permanent even with the intervention of glasses (Amblyopia).

Pay attention to these signs
😖Squinting
🤪Tilting the head to see better.
📺Consistently sitting too close to the TV
📖Holding a book too close to the eye.
🤷🏿‍♂Not being able to locate objects as compared to other same aged kids.
😢Excessive tearing
🙈Frequent rubbing of the eyes
🙅🏾Avoiding visual activities like drawing, coloring, catch-and-throw etc.
🙆🏾Consistent complaint of headaches or tired eyes.

What to do
It is best to immediately schedule for an eye examination with BeFyn Eye Care or any other eye facility.
From 6 months of age till teenage, your child should have an eye exam every 6 months.

LIFESTYLE MONDAY
Every Monday, we suggest to you a lifestyle that is healthy for your eyes and sight.

*EYE GLASSES; EVERYONE NEEDS A PAIR*
No one can escape environmental factors; light( whether sun or LED), stray objects, chemical gases, pollutants, smoke. It is quite unfortunate that that these factors are major causatives of eye conditions, ranging from mere visual discomfort to blindness.
Since we cannot avoid these factors, the most potent remedy is to protect our eyes with prescription glasses.

PROFESSION AND GLASSES
It is interesting to note that if farmers, fishermen, cooks, Baker's, students etc, and white color employees used some form of prescription protective glasses, there would have been a decrease in the occurance of cataract, pterygium, Dry eyes, eye traumas, Macular Degeneration, all of which are sight threatening.

MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT GLASSES
There are several misconceptions about glasses, which are suprisingly believed and spread even by elites. Simply put, correctly prescribed glasses does nothing but good to your eyes. Every other statement is just a misconception.

IMPORTANT
The use of wrong and self prescibed eye glasses have done more harm than good. Always contact BeFyn Eye Care or any good eye care center for correctly prescribed glasses, whether for cosmetic, therapeutic, corrective or protective purposes.

*COUNSEL FRIDAY*
Every Friday, we counsel you on some selected Eye Care practices, that we know might be healthy for your sight.

*TODAY'S TOPIC*
*PROMPT ACTION; A POTENT WEAPON AGAINST BLINDNESS*
The rate at which blindness occurs is growing steadily, despite the effort of the Media, Health facilities and Health organizations.
This is indicative of the fact that the greater portion of the task is the patient's to bear.
At BeFyn, we believe the following might be very important to the fight against blindness.

*1⃣Report early.* Aside regular eye examinations, always make sure you report the slightest change in your vision, and the eye as a whole, as early as possible. This is very essential to management progress.

*2⃣ Report right.* Ensure that before you visit the Eye Care facility, you have listed all your complaints, period of onset and frequency of symptoms. This helps the eye care professional to grasp a clear idea of your problem and hence a precise management regimen.

*‎3⃣ Be wise, take the test.* If you're asked to take a test to verify a condition, don't hesitate or procrastinate. It is always better to know your stand, at least to commence management as early as possible. This will save your sight.

*4⃣‎Your lifestyle counts.* The progress of management of any eye condition relies greatly on you. Ensure that you adjust your lifestyle to benefit the management progress, as well as adhere strictly to the management dosage, protocol or precautions.

*5⃣‎Review.* It is of high importance to report to the doctor after adhering to the management regimen, whether you're better or not. This is to allow proper tracking and management of your condition.

*‎6⃣Stick with the right Care.* Your sight is very precious, so don't just get it handled by any facility at all. Always choose a facility that understands, listens to patients, and is ready to provide great care, regardless. At BeFyn, regardless means REGARDLESS.
