Aiming for a Bright Future for Your Child
- Parents Need to Be Committed First -
Children's amblyopia cannot be cured once they are adults. The eyes of a growing child are influenced by many factors. It is necessary to treat their eyes now for their future.
Let's work together—parents, ophthalmologists, opticians, and eyewear manufacturers—to protect children's vision.
Treatment takes time, and there may be times when results are not immediately apparent.
However, instead of becoming too discouraged or indifferent, let's approach it with a long-term perspective.
How to Keep Wearing Glasses Consistently?
☆ Praise Even the Smallest Achievements ☆
We believe that warm encouragement from parents is crucial for children to continue their treatment. Praise helps boost motivation and encourages children to actively participate in their treatment. Please praise them, even for the smallest things.
For example, when a child who just started wearing glasses takes them off after 10 minutes, instead of saying, "Only 10 minutes?" try saying, "You managed to wear them for 10 minutes! Can you try 20 minutes tomorrow?" Encourage them in a positive way and keep it up until wearing glasses becomes normal.
Of course, we understand that parents are busy and tired, and we don't expect you to push yourself too hard. In such times, start by praising yourself.
"Even though I'm busy and tired, I'm doing my best to support my child's treatment."
It's not just children who feel happy when praised, is it?
Your words of encouragement are the greatest power (driving force) for your child.
☆ Sometimes, Seek Support from Those Around You ☆
Of course, Dad, but also sometimes grandparents, family friends, and others around you can offer support. Some people may have a negative impression of wearing glasses, but amblyopia treatment is a very positive step towards enabling your child to live without glasses in the future.
Help those around you understand this, and create an environment where your child is praised and encouraged to build their confidence.
We want to support the children and the people who care for their eyes.
