Back-to-School Eye Health Tips from Lighthouse Guild


NEW YORK, Aug. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- New clothes and a new backpack may be on your child's back-to-school list. But, what about a back-to-school eye exam? Lighthouse Guild, the leading vision and health organization, points out that vision is one of the keys to success in school and encourages parents to make sure their children get regular vision screenings.

Dr. Laura Sperazza, Director of Low Vision Services at Lighthouse Guild, says, "The most important thing you can do to protect your child's vision is to make sure they get an eye exam. An eye health professional can determine if your child needs eyeglasses or contact lenses, or if there is a vision problem that requires further intervention."

August Is Children's Eye Health and Safety Month

Lighthouse Guild offers the following five healthy vision tips to help safeguard your child's eye health.

Lighthouse Guild and ColumbiaDoctors Children's Health will also host a back to school Twitter chat on Thursday, August 30 at 7 PM. Parents can learn and ask questions about preventing and managing childhood vision loss and preparing their kids for school from experts in the field. Lighthouse Guild's Twitter handle is @lighthousegld.
