Children differ fundamentally from other patient groups in terms of their emotional and cognitive needs. Our holistic approach includes child-friendly preparation for an imaging procedure and helps reduce the stress level significantly. ↪ Gerda, the brave giraffe🦒, supports our youngest patients in preparing for an examination and accompanies them during the #CT scan itself. ↪ MINITOM Kids, a child-sized model scanner, allows children to become familiar with the scanning process through interactive exploration. Features such as a movable table, interactive noise-making buttons, and a tunnel under the scanner help to transform the scanning process into a positive and engaging experience.

This #WorldSightDay, we join the global community in raising awareness about the importance of eye care for children and young people. Every day, young people miss out on critical learning and social opportunities because of a vision issue that could be treated, corrected and often cured. Common eye conditions in children include ambloypia, strabismus and refractive errors such as short-sightedness (myopia). What parents and caregivers can do: 👉Get your child's eyes checked regularly, starting with the most important screening test between 3.5 to 5 years of age before they start school (in line with Vision 2020 Australia's National Framework loom.ly/01N-HwQ) 👉 Make sure they get plenty of time outdoors, limit the time spent on electronic devices and give their eyes plenty of breaks during the day 👉 Watch this recent ABC News interview with one of our refractive surgeons, Prof Colin Chan, talking about the rise in myopia: loom.ly/q1sGVnk Let’s work together to create a world where everyone can see clearly and live fully. 💙👓 #LoveYourChildsEyes #EyeHealth #Ophthalmology #VisionCare #HealthyEyes #EyeTest

Adults with cerebral palsy or #CP are at increased risk of #falling. Great oral presentation #aacpdm2024 by Kari Pederson to help raise awareness, followed by a Q&A sesssion. Kari pointed out very clearly how to help adults with CP when they are on the floor. Offer your help but let the person decide how to be helped. #autonomy Cerebral Palsy Research Network (CPRN)

Unveiling Clarity: A 10-Year-Old's Vision Test Success Today, a 10-year-old boy came to my clinic with his mother, who mentioned that her son frequently complained of eyeache and blurry vision, especially at a distance. When I began testing his visual acuity, something strange happened. He couldn’t even read the largest letter on the Snellen chart (6/60) with either eye. I tried pointing to other letters, but he guessed all of them wrong. Initially, I was a bit frustrated with his response, as it didn’t quite add up. I began to suspect that he might not be giving his full effort and was perhaps acting out. So, I tried a different approach. I used the POINTER STICK that I usually use to guide patients through the chart and, in a FIRM TONE, warned him, “If you guess even one letter wrong, I’ll STRIKE you with this stick! Focus and read correctly.” What happened next was almost magical- his focus sharpened immediately, and he read every letter down to the very bottom of the chart, achieving a perfect 6/6 in both eyes.😁 Sometimes, a little FIRM GUIDANCE is all it takes to help children focus and bring out their best during an eye exam. 😊 #OptometryLife #PediatricVision #EyeCare #PatientBehavior #FocusMatters #VisionHealth #SnellenChart #Optometrist #ChildEyeCare #PatientStories

Nebras Technologies (elabscience_bio) There are over 17 million people worldwide living with cerebral palsy, and another 350 million people are closely connected to a child or adult with cerebral palsy. 𝐂𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐱 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: ● 1 in 4 children with cerebral palsy cannot speak ● 1 in 4 cannot walk ● 1 in 2 have an intellectual disability ● 1 in 4 have epilepsy Cerebral palsy can be devastating for both the individuals and their families. How can we ensure a future where children and adults with cerebral palsy have the same rights, access, and opportunities as everyone else in society? This is a question that calls for reflection and action to change the current situation for those living with cerebral palsy. #WorldCerebralPalsyDay #IntellectualDisability #CerebralPalsy Nebras Technologies Trd.

A recent study found that short-term use of powered mobility devices can support developmental progress and increase participation in daily activities for young children with cerebral palsy. Read more: https://lnkd.in/ggeQ_FfV

As your eyes age, they become more prone to potential vision problems. That's why routine eye examinations are so important. This excellent article summarises some of the more common problems that the ageing eye can develop #EyeConditions #Optician
