Is your child struggling with their vision? ๐ The earlier myopia is detected, the more can be done to manage it and help slow its progression. Young children often donโt realise they have vision problems or may not be able to explain them, which makes regular eye examinations especially important.
With increasing use of devices at younger ages, itโs important to be aware that excessive screen time is linked to myopia, eye strain, and dry eye symptoms.
Reading, learning on screens, and homework are all important, but children and teens should take a short break from close-up work every 20 minutes to rest their focusing muscles. Keeping at least a forearmโs length between the eyes and near work can also help reduce strain and support healthy vision.
๐ซถIn an ideal world, school-aged children and teenagers should limit recreational screen time to no more than two hours per day outside of school.
If this sounds familiar then book an eye test for your child sooner rather than later and help them help their eyes for the future.
