👁️ Children’s Eye Health & Screen Time

Professional Advice from Quinn Opticians

📱 As children spend more time on digital devices for learning and entertainment, it’s important to understand the potential effects on their eye health.

⚠️ Potential Risks of Excessive Screen Time in Children:

🔹 Digital Eye Strain (Computer Vision Syndrome)
Can cause tired eyes, headaches, blurred vision, and difficulty concentrating.

🔹 Dry Eyes
Staring at screens reduces blinking rate, which may lead to dry, irritated eyes.

🔹 Myopia (Short-Sightedness)
Increased near work and reduced outdoor time are linked to the rising rates of myopia in children.

🔹 Sleep Disruption
Blue light from screens can interfere with melatonin production, affecting sleep patterns.QuinnOpticians

Did you know?; both green and blue eyed people have a high risk of visual (eye) damage, this is because there is less pigment in the eyes which makes them more sensitive to light.

👁️ Quinn Opticians – Your Vision, Our Mission

Not sure when to book your next eye appointment? Here are 4 health signs you shouldn’t ignore:

🔴 1. Blurred Vision
Even mild changes can signal eye strain, diabetes, or a need for updated lenses.

🔴 2. Frequent Headaches
Uncorrected vision issues can cause tension and fatigue.

🔴 3. Eye Strain or Pain
Especially common with increased screen time — and can lead to long-term discomfort.

🔴 4. Changes in Vision
Sudden light sensitivity, floaters, or difficulty seeing at night deserve immediate attention.

👓 Don’t wait for symptoms to worsen — regular check-ups can detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetes.
