Did you know?Children and teens staring at a screen for long periods of time can cause some problems with their vision. Today, we're going to talk about these screen time-related visual issues and how to prevent them effectively!
Let's be clear: prolonged exposure to screens does pose some visual risks to children and teens. These problems include eye strain, dryness, blurriness and even nearsightedness. The reason is mainly because of staring at the screen for a long time, the number of blinks is reduced, and the eyes are not properly rested and lubricated, resulting in eye discomfort. So, how can you prevent these problems?Let's talk about how to prevent it!
Control screen time. That's the key to that!Children and teens should not spend too much screen time each day. Arrange their entertainment and Xi time wisely, and control the amount of time they use electronic devices. Having rules such as how long you use electronic devices each day, when you use them, and when you take breaks can help you control screen time.
Create a good environment for the eyes. Keep the room in soft light and avoid direct sunlight in the eyes. Adjust the brightness and contrast of the screen to make them more in line with the surrounding environment and reduce eye irritation. These small adjustments can have a very positive effect on the prevention of eye problems.
It's also important to take regular breaks. Set reminders for your child to take regular breaks, such as closing their eyes every once in a while or looking into the distance for a few minutes. This helps to relax the eyes and reduce eye strain.
Ah, there's also a little encouragement for outdoor activities. Let your child go out and play more and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air outside. Outdoor activities can keep your eyes away from the screens of electronic devices and can also be a great help for eye health.
It is also important to teach children the correct eye Xi. Teach them to maintain a correct sitting posture, eye distance, avoid staring at the screen for a long time, and take regular breaks, which are all good eye Xi habits.
Don't forget to keep an appropriate eye distance. Telling your child to keep an appropriate screen distance and not to be near the screen for long periods of time can help reduce the strain on the eyes.
Controlling screen time, creating a good eye environment, taking regular breaks, encouraging outdoor activities, teaching proper eye Xi and maintaining appropriate eye distance are all effective ways to prevent screen time-related vision problems in children and teens.
