In recognition of Children’s Eye Health and Safety Month this August, Duke Eye Center’s own Adriana Ferreira, OD, was featured on CBS17’s This Month in Health to share expert advice on how parents can support their child’s eye health.
In the segment, Dr. Ferreira offers expert insights on:
- When to schedule a child’s first eye exam
- Common signs that may indicate vision problems
- What to expect during a pediatric eye appointment
- Practical tips for promoting healthy vision at home and in the classroom
Her guidance is especially valuable as families prepare for the new school year and look to ensure their children are set up for success—both in and out of the classroom.
