Over half (53%) of surveyed parents would go to straight to their GP for an eye infection issue and over a third (34%) would go to their GP for an eye discomfort issue instead of seeking advice at their local optician\u2019s. One in twelve parents (8%) would visit their GP or call NHS 111 if their child was experiencing a slight change in vision rather than making an appointment at their local optician\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>Better signposting to eye care professionals on the high street would prevent parents making unnecessary appointments with their GP, as eye care professionals based at local optician\u2019s practices can offer specialist eyecare advice and in the majority of cases manage the condition without further referral.<\/p>\n<p>Denise Voon, clinical adviser at The College of Optometrists, says, \u201cIt\u2019s not surprising that many parents are confused about when and where to go for children\u2019s eye care. The children\u2019s health record, known as \u2018the red book\u2019 and parents\u2019 handbook for children\u2019s health and development, doesn\u2019t currently include information or advice about children\u2019s eye health and eye tests.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile most children in the UK have excellent eyesight, taking children for regular eye tests from the age of 3-4 years old every 1-2 years, or as recommended by their optometrist, is critical for checking children\u2019s vision and eye health. This is especially important if there is a family history of needing glasses but is advisable for all children. We\u2019re calling for the national health and care services across the UK to better signpost parents to their local opticians as their first port of call for eye care, and to always include advice about how and why parents and carers should take their child for regular eye tests in the \u2018red book\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Misinformation about children\u2019s eye care<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, many parents believe misinformation about eye care: over one in four parents and carers (28%) polled in the Mumsnet survey incorrectly believed that eye exercises can help slow the progression of short-sightedness (myopia), and one in five (20%) believed it\u2019s legal to buy children\u2019s prescription glasses online.<\/p>\n<p>Max Halford clinical and policy director, ABDO advises<strong>,<\/strong> \u201cIf, following an eye test, your child is recommended glasses then remember that children aged under 16 can only have their glasses dispensed by an optometrist or dispensing optician registered with the General Optical Council (GOC) or by people and students working under their supervision. If your child is prescribed glasses, dispensing opticians are the experts on hand to help choose the most appropriate frames and lenses to maximise their vision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Roy Stoner, OSA Chair, said<strong>, <\/strong><em>&#8220;<\/em>We have reached out to the most significant platform for parents and carers to learn more of their experiences and concerns about their children&#8217;s eyesight.\u00a0 The five years of data mining all optically related conversations amongst the 9m monthly users provides us with an unrivalled overview.\u00a0 We are all optimistic that this can be used to address the worrying levels of confusion.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Busting children\u2019s eye health myths<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Eye exercises can help slow the progression of short-sightedness in children. FALSE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is not true. Most visual problems are a result of the shape and development of the eye, and exercises won\u2019t affect this. Parents should always ensure children wear their prescribed glasses or contact lens to correct their myopia and follow the advice of their eye care professional.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Buying glasses and contact lenses online for children under the age of 16 is legal. FALSE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Children aged under 16 can only have their prescribed glasses dispensed by an optometrist or dispensing optician who are registered with the General Optical Council (GOC), or people and students working under their direct supervision. This is to ensure children receive the best possible care from qualified registered health professionals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Children need to be able to read before they can have an eye test. FALSE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One in ten (9%) parents and carers surveyed were unaware that children don\u2019t need to be able to read to have an eye test. It is also possible to find out whether a child has healthy eyes or needs glasses without asking them any questions during their eye test.<\/p>\n<p><strong>School vision screenings are the same as full eye tests carried out at an optician&#8217;s practice. FALSE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Over one in five (21%) survey respondents thought this was true or weren\u2019t sure. School vision screenings are an important programme, but the test is not as comprehensive as the free children\u2019s NHS eye tests carried out by an optometrist at an optician\u2019s practice, and it is not offered in some parts of England. Parents and carers should ensure their child attends both the school vision screening, where it is offered, and also attend regular eye tests at the optician\u2019s every 1-2 years, or as advised by their optometrist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Blue light filtering glasses help keep children\u2019s eyes healthy. FALSE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Over one in ten (12%) parents surveyed thought that these glasses support children\u2019s eye health. While blue light filtering glasses are effective at reducing the amount of blue light emitted by digital screens from entering the eyes, the best scientific evidence currently available does not support the use of blue-blocking glasses or lenses to improve visual performance, alleviate the symptoms of eye fatigue or visual discomfort, improve sleep quality, or conserve children\u2019s eye health.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spending time outdoors and eating plenty of fruit and vegetables can help support healthy eyes. TRUE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Eating a wide variety of fruit and vegetables, including dark green leaves, is good for children\u2019s general health and may support good eye health.<\/p>\n<p>Scientific studies have shown that children who spend sufficient time outdoors are less likely to be or become short-sighted.\u00a0It\u2019s recommended that children spend around two hours outside per day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The three organisations came together to commission research with 1,008 parents on Mumsnet <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28397,"featured_media":21843,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2957],"tags":[3079],"class_list":["post-42601","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-vision-news","tag-mumsnet"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
