Please keep the garbage disposal site and recycle post cleanWhen you leave kitchen waste still containing water, it corrupts quickly, and that causes a bad smell and filthy water to flow out of the bag. So please make sure that you properly drain off water from kitchen waste. As for pet-bottles, cans and glass bottles, please follow the instructions and diagram on next page to recycle them. Since the garbage disposal site and recycling posts are installed by cooperation of the onessponsoring those places, we’d also like to ask you to keep the site and post clean.

Health Problems Q&A-Children’s eyesight-When you notice any problems with your child’s eyesight, please go to a children’s ophthalmologic clinic and have a check-up. Q: I’m worried about my child’s poor eyesight. When and where can I take him to have it checked? A:It is said that infants around 12 months old have eyesight of 0.02. Their eyesight develops asthey grow, watching clear objects using both of their eyes. Their eyesight reaches around 1.0 when they become 3 years old. However, eye diseases such as congenital cataract, and far-sightedness during this development stage prevent children from seeing things clearly and using both of their eyes. So their eyesight cannot develop properly, and it results in poor eyesight. If a child’s eyesight reaches this situation, then it will become difficult to treat and cure. So you need to take your child to have his or her eyes checked at an ophthalmologist’s as soon as you notice any problems. |
On the other hand, poor eyesight in only one eye can be difficult to notice until they go to an ophthalmologist’s when they are older. TachikawaCity holds ophthalmologic check-ups for one and a half year old infants, where we make an effort to find any problems the infant may have, such as near and far-sightedness and eye rank problems. We recommend all infants be checked even though their eyes do not seem to have any problems. Usual eyesight check-ups are available for children of 3 years or older. This is so that you can see whether their eyesight has developed properly. This service is available at any medical facility with an orthoptist.
