And make a habit of packing an eye-friendly snack or two think nuts and seeds high in omega-3s.

Schools play an ace role in supporting eye health. Encourage teachers to incorporate regular "eye breaks" in class and to optimize classroom lighting. These small acts can make a big difference in your child's eye comfort.

Let your kid's teachers know about their dry eye situation, and discuss how you can work together to maintain their ocular well-being. It takes a village, as they say, and the school environment is a crucial part of that village.

Empower your children to take charge of their eye health. Teach them how to use tools like the iTEAR100, and explain why they need to blink regularly. Make it fun create a catchy tune or a game out of it. Active participation can lead to better adherence and, ultimately, happier eyes.

Talk to your child's teacher about incorporating activities that are gentle on the eyes. It could be as simple as having more storytelling sessions or art classes that don't require intense visual focus. Variety is not just the spice of life, it's a balm for the eyes!

When your kids step out to play, there's more at stake than just their next game of tag. The outdoor environment -- think wind, sun, and dust can challenge their little eyes. Choose protective sunglasses with UV filters, and if it's windy, a wide-brimmed hat can act as a shield from the elements.

Inside, balance is key. It's cool to create a cozy reading nook with optimal lighting. This can minimize glare and make sure their eyes aren't working overtime to see. Remember, when they're at play, their eyes are, too. Give those peepers the care they need, so playtime is always a blast.

Encourage outdoor games that stimulate natural blinking and aren't visually demanding. Activities like blowing bubbles or playing with a frisbee keep eyes moist and give your child the benefits of fresh air and exercise.

Plus, outdoor play is a natural way to balance the near focus that comes with digital devices and books. It's like a mini-workout for their eyes, so encourage them to gaze into the distance and embrace the wide-open spaces.

Screens are part of life, but they can be a dry-eye magnet. Set up a comfy viewing area, get the screen at eye level, and enforce the 20-20-20 rule every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Trust us, the eyes will thank you!

Also, the brightness and color temperature settings are your friends. Adjust them to be easy on the eyes, especially during those after-school gaming marathons or movie nights.

From protective shades to the iTEAR100, every tool in your eye care arsenal plays a part in creating a beneficial visual environment. Whether it's reading under the right light or enjoying the outdoors, eye-friendly equipment can make healthy vision a breeze.

Sunglasses are more than a style statement for kids; they're bodyguards for their eyes. Invest in a pair that blocks 100% of UVA and UVB rays. This can prevent damage that could exacerbate dry eye symptoms and protect their sight for years to come.

iTear100 encourages you to make sunglass shopping a fun expedition. Let the kids pick their frames so they're excited to wear them. Plus, they'll be learning a valuable lesson about self-care.

Making sure your child's reading and study area is kitted out with soft, yet sufficient lighting is key. This minimizes the stress on their eyes and keeps dryness at bay. Look for lamps with adjustable settings so you can tweak the intensity as needed.

Consider the color temperature of the bulbs as well. Warmer tones tend to be easier on the eyes than stark, cool-hued lighting. It's all about setting the scene for a comfortable visual experience.

Where the screens are involved, opt for high quality, with anti-glare and blue light filtering features. This can make a significant difference in reducing eye strain and combating dry eye symptoms.
