Myth: Sitting too close to a tablet device can harm your childβs eyes?
Contrary to popular belief, sitting too close to a tablet device won't harm your eyes, but it may lead to eyestrain. Children can focus at close distances without experiencing eyestrain more effectively than adults. Hence, children often develop the habit of holding reading materials close to their eyes or sitting very close to the television. However, there is no evidence to suggest that this habit damages the eyes, either in children or adults. Typically, with children, this habit tends to diminish as they grow older.
