Ever notice your child’s eyelid or the skin around their eye twitching? While twitching (myokymia) is usually harmless, in kids it can sometimes signal fatigue, stress, or too much screen time.

What to Watch For:
- Twitching of the upper or lower eyelid
- Occasional blinking or spasms
- If the twitch lasts more than a week, or is accompanied by eye pain, redness, or changes in vision, that’s a cue to see a pediatric eye specialist.

With so much schoolwork and play happening on digital devices, many parents wonder if their child should be wearing blue light glasses. While research is ongoing, these glasses help reduce digital eye strain, headaches, and fatigue by filtering out high-energy light from screens. If your child spends hours on screens and complains of tired eyes, an exam can help determine if bluelight glasses or other treatments are right for them.

Between tablets, phones, and laptops, kids’ eyes are working harder than ever. One simple way to protect them? The 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes of screen time, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.

This tiny break helps reduce eye strain, dryness, and fatigue. Teaching kids this habit early builds healthy vision practices for life—and makes homework and screen time easier on their eyes. At Pediatric Eye Specialists, we encourage families to use this rule daily to keep young eyes comfortable and strong.

Did you know that glaucoma can affect children too? While most people associate glaucoma with adults, it can also appear in infants and children in several forms:

- Congenital Glaucoma: Present at birth.
- Infantile Glaucoma: Develops within the first three years of life.
- Juvenile Glaucoma: Occurs later in childhood.

One of the most common causes of childhood glaucoma is the misuse of steroid eye drops for allergic eye conditions. That’s why it’s so important to consult a pediatric eye specialist even for minor eye issues—a child’s eyes are extremely sensitive and require expert care.
