Thank you, melissa. Clock . There are concerns about staring at the small screens, thats because of the strain on your eyes. I feel that every day. Its the same for kids as their eyes are still developing. Theres no conclusive evidence directly linking screen time with nearsightedness in children. Dr. Andrew morgen stern of treehouse eyes says it makes sense that using the devices may cause this problem. Children spend too much time on phones and computers and not enough time outside which can be good for developing Long Distance vision. Theyre on ipads and iphones, on the computer at school, Digital Black boards at school and all of this stimulus, we believe, is causing nearsightedness to rise. The American Academy of pediatrics discourages screen time for children under the age of 2. Recommends no more than two hours a day for anyone else. If it runs in your family, pay special attention for signs your child isnt seeing clearly.
