Children are susceptible to a host of vision and eye problems such as injury, infection and increased nearsightedness. In support of Children's Eye Health and Safety Month in August, the American Academy of Ophthalmology, Prevent Blindness America, and many other organizations and eye doctors provide information to the public that can help protect and preserve a child's eye health for life.

August is home to Children's Eye Health and Safety Month as well as National Children's Vision & Learning Month. It is the perfect opportunity for eye doctors to spread the word on the importance of routine examinations and treating eye conditions early on to preserve vision.
