HEALTH & WELLNESS
• Put the right nutrients into your body. It’s important to make
sure your body is getting all the nutrients it needs on the inside
for radiant skin on the outside. This includes lots of water!
• Take cover when heading outside. SPF products shouldn’t be
skipped at this age either and should be applied daily. Try adding
a hat and cover your skin to prevent overexposure to the harmful
rays of the sun, even in the cooler months.
• Find a good retinoid. Derived from vitamin A, retinoids boost
collagen production in the skin to stimulate blood vessels and
unclog pores.

SEEING INTO THE FUTURE
Twenty-first century children will be looking beyond genetics as
a cause for needing corrective eyewear, according to the American
Optometric Association (AOA). In the Digital Age, children are
exposed to electronic devices their whole lives as an integral part
of social and educational practices. Teachers are continuing to
increase the amount of digital technology used in the classroom,
and it is expected that computer simulations will account for much
of the learning style in the future. Both teachers and parents are
finding that children are adapting well to the use of technology in
the classroom, making learning more interactive and current than
most textbook learning.
The AOA’s 2015 American Eye-Q survey stated that 41 percent
of parents say their kids spend three or more hours per day using
digital devices, and 66 percent of kids have their own smartphone
or tablet. As technology becomes more of an essential part of
modern life, it is important for parents to facilitate balance in their
children’s digital usage. Electronic devices, including televisions,
give off blue and violet light that may affect vision by causing
eyestrain and discomfort. If your child has to do homework using
a computer or tablet, then keep the television and other devices off
during dinnertime and enjoy conversation together. Optometrists
also researched the importance of natural sunlight exposure to the
eyes and say that a lack of exposure to natural light could affect the
growth and development of vision.
