Kids and screen time has always been a sensitive topic for parents. And now with e-learning and everything digital, kids on an average are spending 4 hours in front of the gadgets and susceptible to get a digital eye strain.
But before going further we need to understand - What is blue light?
A high energy light wave, blue light is usually emitted by sun and digital screens, LED and Fluorescent lights.
While a small amount is actually good for our eyes and slows down myopia, it is the long term exposure that causes eye strain and can even lead to a damaged retina.
How to know if my child has digital eye strain?
Common symptoms of strained eyes -
