Description:
"Keeping your body healthy is an expression of gratitude to the whole cosmos."
Little Scholars School organized an awareness session on Eye problems and its prevention in the ongoing safety week of 2024. The session was conducted by none other than Dr. Amrita Chauhan, an Ex-Student of Little Scholars from the 2003 batch and a renowned Ophthalmologist with a Fellowship in Intraocular surgery and medical retina.
Dr. Amrita led a session for students of classes 3-8 in the auditorium, followed by an interactive discussion on eye wellness, educating and guiding students on how to take care of their eye health in this digital age.
She emphasized that staring at digital screens for too long can lead to tired, itchy, dry eyes, and even blurred vision and headaches, especially in children who spend prolonged periods playing games on mobile phones. She highlighted the risks of high refractive errors and eye infections due to constant screen exposure and eye rubbing.
Dr. Amrita recommended annual eye check-ups and suggested precautions such as using anti-reflective glasses or screens, frequent blinking, consuming fresh green and red/orange vegetables and fruits, and following the 20-20-20 rule.
Students showed immense interest and received personalized solutions to their eye-related concerns, making the session both knowledgeable and inspiring. 👁️🍊
