The average person sheds anywhere from 50 to100 hairs every day, and when you suffer from hair breakage, that number can increase significantly. Hair breakage can often be prevented by eating a proper diet, limiting the use of hair care products and refraining from overzealous hair-care practices.
1 Although an infant's color vision is not as sensitive as an adult's, it is generally believed that babies have good color vision by five months of age. 2  Most babies start crawling at about 8 months old, which helps further develop eye-hand-foot-body coordination.
According to the American Optometric Association (AOA), infants should have their first comprehensive eye exam at 6 months of age. Children then should receive additional eye exams at 3 years of age, and just before they enter kindergarten or the first grade at about age 5 or 6. For school-aged children, the AOA recommends an eye exam every two years if no vision correction is required. Children who need eyeglasses or contact lenses should be examined annually or according to their eye doctorâs recommendations. School screenings are not adequate and often miss vision issues.
