How Screen Time Affects Kids’ Eyes | Dr. RVS Kalyani | Centre For Sight
Dr. RVS Kalyani explains why managing screen time is extremely important, especially for children. For kids below five years of age, screen time should be kept under 30 minutes. Following the 20-20-20 rule—taking a 20-second break every 20 minutes and looking 20 feet away—helps reduce eye strain. Excessive screen exposure can lead to myopia in children and severe dry eye in adults, making screen-time control essential for long-term eye health.
