Screen Time Overload During School Break: Protect Your Child’s Eyes
School break = more screen time. Too much gadget use strains your child’s eyes, causing headaches, dryness, and blurry vision.
Encourage the 20-20-20 rule, outdoor breaks, and device-free family time.
If your child shows signs of eye strain, schedule an eye exam.
A PUBLIC ADVISORY FROM THE PHILIPPINE ACADEMY OF OPHTHALMOLOGY:Beware of unproven eye medicine, eye drops, and eye devices that are being peddled as a cure-all or prevention of different eye conditions. Consult your ophthalmologist for the proper care of your eyes.
