Dr. Mark Page has released a book helping parents to help their children do better in school, play and life.
His book includes seven other optometrist contributors from the U.S. who offer parents common-sense solutions that can help improve their child’s eyesight. Some suggestions as simple as encouraging a child to spend more time outside rather than exclusively in front of a computer or television screen.
“There’s almost an epidemic of people becoming nearsighted. In the last 40 years, the number of kids alone going nearsighted as gone up 60 percent,” said Page.
