Young eyes & screen time?

Excessive screen time in children can cause digital eye strain, symptoms like headaches, dry eyes, and blurred vision, and increases the risk of developing myopia (short-sightedness). To protect young eyes, encourage the 20-20-20 rule—every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds—limit leisure screen time, and ensure plenty of outdoor play.

As a parent, knowing when your child needs their first eye test can feel overwhelming. Children’s vision develops rapidly, and problems can emerge without obvious warning signs. Regular eye examinations for kids are crucial to identify potential issues before they affect learning, development, or daily activities.

Vision care professionals recommend a structured approach to children’s eye examinations:

Infants: Initial screening by 12 months of age
Toddlers: Comprehensive eye test between ages 2-3
School-age children: Before starting Grade 1, then every 1-2 years
Many vision problems develop silently. Booking an eye examination early helps prevent complications that could impact your child’s academic performance and quality of life.

The importance of eye care in children

Undetected vision problems can impact your child’s performance both in and out of the classroom. Therefore, it’s important to understand eye health so you can recognize the signs that your child may have a vision problem and possibly need glasses.

Here are a few signs that indicate your child may be experiencing vision problems and need glasses:

1. Squinting
2. Tilting head or covering one eye
3. Sitting too close to the television or holding hand-held devices too close to the eyes
4. Rubbing eyes excessively
5. Complaining of headaches or eye pain
6. Having difficulty concentrating on school work

Contact your nearest Bierman Janeke branch if you are concerned about your child's eyes.
