Too much screen time and not enough outdoor time is causing children to become myopic.
Myopia causes the length of the eye to increase, giving you short-sight. Every -1D of myopia in childhood increases the risk of sight loss by 30% as an adult.
If caught early your child’s myopia can be slowed down by as much as 50%, meaning
(a) better sight during their life
(b) a decreased risk of eye disease later in their life
