Your eyes are very important sense organs that need proper care and attention. Knowing the facts and sifting out myths about your eyes and sense of vision can help you take a proactive approach to eye health and well-being.

Myth: Outfitting Your Kid’s Room With Nightlights Causes Nearsightedness

Fact: You might have heard that the use of nightlights in your kid’s bedroom might cause nearsightedness.  But there is not enough proof that can back this claim up.  Nightlights in the room where your baby sleeps might aid your child in learning to focus as well as develop essential eye coordination capabilities while awake.

Fact: Looking Directly Towards The Sun Damages Your Vision

True: If you look straight towards the sun, it can trigger a headache as well as temporarily distort vision.  It could also cause your retina (back of the eye) to become permanently damaged.  Sunlight exposure also has cumulative effects due to ultraviolet radiation affecting the eyes.  UV radiation exposure is known to be associated with eye issues like corneal dystrophy, pterygia, cataracts, solar retinitis, and macular degeneration.  You should not look towards the sun particularly during solar eclipses and in the midday.  Solar eclipses might hide the sun’s brightness, but the hazardous rays are invisible still at full strength.  They can permanently burn the eyes.

Do consult your ophthalmologist Los Angeles, CA before using any type of medication or eye product on your eyes. Schedule an appointment today!
