Spring Break is almost here! ☀️🌴 With kids out of school, screen time can easily creep up during long travel days, rainy afternoons, or downtime at home.
Did you know that more than 2 hours of daily screen time may increase the risk of myopia (nearsightedness) in kids? 📱👀
This break, try to balance screens with plenty of outdoor play, reading, and activities that give little eyes a chance to focus on things far away. Fresh air and sunshine aren’t just fun, they’re great for eye health too! 🌼
A few simple tips for the week:
• Encourage outdoor play each day
• Take screen breaks every 20 minutes
• Keep screens at a comfortable distance
• Mix in screen-free activities
A little awareness during Spring Break can go a long way in protecting growing eyes! 💙
