In recent years, there has been a sharp increase in vision problems and the use of eyeglasses among school-aged children. One of the main reasons cited is the excessive use of phones, tablets, and computers.
According to “Tehsil365”, ophthalmologists report that children who spend more than two hours a day in front of screens are developing dry eyes, difficulty focusing, and increasing nearsightedness. Poor lighting in classrooms is also said to contribute to this issue.
Parents are advised to encourage their children to spend more time outdoors.
