The holidays are here, and the kids are spending more time watching their favourite cartoons and movies! But should you worry when they sit too close to the screen?

❌ MYTH:Sitting close to the TV permanently damages your child’s eyes.

✅ FACT: Sitting close to the TV does not usually cause permanent eye damage. However, it may lead to eye strain or discomfort. If your child consistently sits very close to the screen, it could be a sign of an underlying vision problem that needs attention.

Holiday Eye Care Tips for Parents:
- Encourage your child to sit at a comfortable distance from the TV.
- Balance screen time with outdoor play and other activities.
- Encourage regular breaks from screens.
- Schedule an eye examination if your child frequently sits too close, squints, complains of headaches, or struggles to see distant objects.

This holiday, let your children enjoy their favourite shows while keeping their eye health a priority!

At Optex Opticians, we care about your family’s vision.
