Nope, my 3 & 5 year olds have ZERO exposure to iPads, tablets, and iPhones. They are anatomically dangerous 😳
This video breaks down why there really isn’t a “safe” amount of close-up screen time for kids under 18—and it’s all backed by science.
First, children’s eyes are still growing and changing well into their late teens. That’s why procedures like LASIK aren’t even considered until vision stabilizes. Second, we now know that spending a lot of time on near, bright screens can increase the risk of developing myopia (nearsightedness) and make it progress faster over time.
The video also touches on why worsening myopia isn’t just about needing stronger glasses—it can lead to more serious eye health risks later on. And it’s not just kids—adults can also experience issues like eye strain and alignment problems from too much screen time.
Bottom line: screen use is a part of life, but when it comes to developing eyes, less is better.
