While technology plays an important role in learning and entertainment for children, prolonged near work and excessive screen time may be associated with worsening myopia progression in some children.
Healthy screen habits can help support growing eyes 👓✨
Tips for healthier screen use:
1. Reduce the number of hours on screen. For every extra hour of daily screen time beyond 1 hour, the risk of developing myopia increases by roughly 21%.
2. Hold books and screens at least elbow’s length away.
3. Take 5 minute break for every 1 hour of screen time.
At Sienna Eye Care, we believe small daily habits can make a meaningful difference in supporting children’s long-term eye health.
