I received a question via our iPhone App from a Dad concerned about all of the new electronics his children are using and whether all these gadgets might harm their vision. After doing some research, I discovered there’s not a lot of data to support the idea that all of this new technology can cause actual visual problems. However, the constant use of computers, electronic games and smartphones for messaging, as well as good old-fashioned TV watching, may cause eye fatigue. The number of hours kids spend on these activities continues to grow, and even for a diligent parent who’s monitoring their child’s screen time, the hours a youngster is online at school must be factored in.
