👁️ Burning or Itchy Eyes in Children: Is Screen Time to Blame?
In today’s digital age, children spend more time on mobiles, tablets, and laptops than ever before. While technology has its benefits, excessive screen exposure can harm young eyes.
👉 Common complaints include:
Burning sensation
Itchiness or irritation
Frequent eye rubbing
Watery eyes
Why Does This Happen?
Long hours on digital devices reduce the natural blinking rate, leading to dryness, eye strain, and discomfort. Over time, it may also cause digital eye strain or worsen existing vision problems.
What Parents Can Do
✅ Encourage regular breaks using the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds).
✅ Limit screen time, especially before bedtime.
✅ Ensure proper lighting while using gadgets.
✅ Schedule routine eye checkups to detect problems early.
