Join me every week for Win-It Wednesday. I’ll be posting 24-hour giveaways at 8 a.m., 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. ET to give you plenty of chances to win!
Being able to see clearly and easily is key to a child's success in school. If you can't see what's going on, how can you possibly learn? As many as one in four kids won't be able to see properly as they head back to school. Annual eye exams can help undetected vision problems to be caught early so that children are getting the most out of school.
To highlight how important eye and vision health is I've teamed up with VSP Vision Care, the nation’s largest not-for-profit vision benefits and services company to offer you this amazing iPad giveaway. The iPad can help as several applications are built to boost visual acuity and overall eye health, making them perfect for doing eye exercises and keeping your eyes in shape.

I think my big takeaway from seemuchmore.com is that there are actual exercises you can do to strengthen your vision. Did I know that before? If I did, I didn't remember.
I will have some fun practicing with my 4 year old!
Thanks!
I learned that early reading and art actually aid physical development of kids’ vision.

I did not know the following: "I can see signs of diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol by looking at the blood vessels in your eyes."
I am following both DSM and VSP on twitter, and I tweeted this.

I found the 20-20-20 idea very helpful from VSP. I'm on the computer a lot, so hopefully that will help my eyes.

I had no idea about this one....
"When working on the computer, turn off overhead lights."
I would have thought the opposite (so that there wouldn'y be such a contrast) but I am definitely going to try this because I have noticed that my eyesight has gotten worse since I started staring at the computer all day at work!

I learned that certain medical issues like high cholesterol can be detected through an eye exam.
Reading & art early in life help kids' vision development! Who knew??
I had no idea that your vision could be connected to so many other things going on in your body: "Eye exams can detect signs of diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol."
well I didnt realize that the eye doctor could see signs of diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol by looking at the blood vessels in your eyes...i just thought they examined my eyes/sight

I dont know how to share a link for those...???
Eye exams can detect signs of diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
Transplanting whole eyes is a medical impossibility today, because of the thread that connects the eyes to the brain. This connection is called the optic nerve, and it cannot be severed.
I checked out seemuchmore.com. Thank you for the link. I did not know that "Eye exams can detect signs of diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol."
And also, I saw the main part was insurance that it covers and is seeking people to apply for it either with employee or through your own individual payment. I looked up my town to see if it covered my current eye doctor.
thanks. :o)
And also, yes, of course I am a fan of your's on Facebook. Excited to have found your great site. Thanks for helping all of us!
I did not know that eye strain is the #1 computer complaint. I had better start doing those exercises for my eyes!

he thing I learned was that they could tell if your blood pressure or cholesterol is high just from your eye exam.

I also learned that my husband should still have his eyes checked every year even though he had Lasik surgery.
I didn't realize how much the eye doctor can tell just from an eye exam.
I learned that eye exams can detect things such as diabetes and high blood pressure. :)
I learned that your eyes are so much more than mirrors to your soul. Through your eyes it can be determined if you have High Blood Pressure,Diabetes or High Cholesterol. Your eyes are very important to your general health.
What a well done site, there is a lot of information available!
I never knew it was a good idea to turn off overhead lights when using the computer. I tend to have them off during the daytime, but now I know I should leave them off at night too.

I have strugged with a lazy eye my whole life. Undetected until too late for exercises. This would be wonderful for children with a lazy eye.
