The back-to-school season is upon us, meaning it’s time to prioritize your children’s eye health. From fall sports to time spent in the classroom, UAB Callahan Eye is committed to ensuring young eyes are ready for the school year ahead.
Children participating in outdoor activities should protect their eyes by wearing polarized sunglasses or wide-brimmed hats. When looking at digital screens at home or during learning hours, children should take frequent breaks to rest and prevent dry or tired eyes.
There’s also no better time to schedule an eye checkup than at the beginning of the school year. UAB Callahan Eye’s six pediatric-focused clinicians are committed to providing the best care for your children’s eyes. With multiple locations across central Alabama, it’s easy to get a check-up and then get back to life.
At UAB Callahan Eye, world-class optometrists and ophthalmologists are ready to treat your entire family. And if emergencies arise, there’s 24/7 care at the nation’s only Level I Ocular Trauma Center. It’s no wonder Alabama parents have trusted their families with Callahan for 60 years.
