Kids today spend hours (and hours) on screens …
But their visual systems weren’t designed for that much close-up work.
In fact, excessive screen time can hinder functional vision development.
What’s functional vision? It’s essentially how the eyes and brain work together to understand what we see—and it’s crucial for skills like reading, writing, and learning in general.
Watch for symptoms like these:
🔘Headaches
🔘Sore, strained eyes
🔘Avoidance of reading
🔘Trouble paying attention
Then schedule a Functional Vision Exam to see if screen time is affecting your child’s vision.
