Is your child spending too much time in front of screens?
From schoolwork to games and social media, kids are glued to screens more than ever. While technology can be great, too much screen time can strain growing eyes. 👀📱
CAO has outlined the following recommendations for safe recreational use of electronic screens for children
0-2 years: No screen time is recommended
2-5 years: no more than one hour with regular breaks
Children over 5: ideally, no more than two hours per day of recreational screen time with regular breaks
Remember: individual screen time plans should be based on development and needs. To learn more about your child’s vision, visit your optometrist.
