Did you know that Healthy Vision Month is celebrated in May? It is celebrated to stress the importance of the health of our eyes! 

*This article is done in collaboration with Lookafter. 

Many parents are concern about kids' eyes as they grow up in a digital environment where learning and playing is often done through digital screens. Myopia rates are on the rise among kids in Asia - especially since they are susceptible to blue light's effects while their eyes are still developing. 

This Healthy Vision Month, together with Lookafter, we hope to raise awareness on kids' eye health and share simple ways to look after young eyes! Apart from limiting screen time, parents can also help your kid's eye health by providing eye nutrients and engaging in more offline activities. 

Scroll on down as we share special promotions from Lookafter's lutein eye vitamins and exciting outdoor activities you can engage with your child this May too!

If you are seeking adventure, why not give kayaking a try? This popular water sport is available at several venues in Singapore and is mostly suitable for kids 7 years old and above (the ones most likely to be using devices). 

Get out in the water, no devices and no distractions! In fact, there is only the 2 of you - that makes it a great bonding opportunity as your older kids will be "forced" to spend an hour or 2 with you! If you need help finding out more about kayaking in Singapore, check out our Family's Guide to Kayaking in Singapore, it includes rental venues and pricing too! 

Play Outdoors - At An Outdoor Playground

For those with younger kids, you may consider bringing the little ones to an outdoor playground instead. They can run, jump, and climb in the open spaces, and even pick up social skills as they meet new friends too! Best part - it is FREE!

Did you know that Singapore has the most outdoor play space per square kilometres? There is no reason not to find one near your estate - simply take the kids downstairs and give them an hour or two away from their devices, or if you are looking for the best, here's our List of the Best Outdoor Playgrounds in Singapore

Hopefully this list has been helpful to give ideas and alternatives to get the kids outdoor and off their digital devices. Most importantly, as parents, you play an important role too - be a role model, put down your own devices and join them in creating more family fun times!
