A recent study has revealed a concerning trend: just one extra hour of screen time per day can raise a child's risk of developing myopia by nearly 25%.
π€³ As digital devices become more integrated into education and entertainment, children are spending more time than ever in front of screensβoften at the expense of outdoor activity and natural light exposure, both of which are protective against myopia.
The study emphasises the importance of early intervention, recommending that parents and clinicians:
ποΈ Encourage regular outdoor play
ποΈ Limit unnecessary screen time
ποΈ Schedule routine eye exams for early detection
With global myopia rates expected to rise dramatically over the next decade, this research reinforces the urgent need to address lifestyle habits in childhood to protect long-term vision health.
