Connection with Your Child’s Eye Health and Mental Health

11/1/2022

Are you wondering what the connection could be between eye health and mental health? Research has shown that vision impairment has an impact on children’s mental health. According to Optometry Times, with proper eye care and availability of eye glasses, a child’s ability to learn increases and rates of anxiety and depression decrease. Research from the American Academy of Ophthalmology found that vision impairment was linked to an increase in symptoms of anxiety and depression. Please find below some considerations to support your child’s eye health:
Picture
  1. Knowledge About Eye Health Through the Years. This guide provides eye health from birth to young adult years, and includes information about frequency of eye exams and protecting the eyes.
  2. Regular Visits to Your Eye Doctor. Eye exams are covered by OHIP once a year for children/youth up to age 20.
  3. Supporting Eye Health. There are several suggestions in the resource listed above. Some key factors include a well balanced diet, being mindful of your child’s screen time, engaging in activities to stimulate the eyes, and spending time outdoors.

    I have been working with parents for over 10 years. I have learned a great deal from them as well as from parenting my own children. It has taught me that parenting is the most trying job there is, requires the support of a village, and with the right supports can be truly rewarding.
