How to take care of your child’s eyes and vision

It is becoming increasingly difficult to avoid screens in our daily lives. Smartphones, tablets and computer screens emit HEV radiation that is harmful to the eye and can negatively affect our vision – it contributes to degenerative changes in the retina. Children who grow up in a digital world are particularly vulnerable to this type of exposure.

Did you know that.

HEV radiation

(High Energy Visible Light), also known as “blue light,” is a type of radiation that, yes, is emitted by the sun, but also by electronic devices. Although not as harmful as UV radiation, prolonged exposure to blue light can lead to eye fatigue, sleep problems, oxidative stress and even the aforementioned retinal damage.

In an era of digitization and ubiquitous technology, it is hard to imagine eliminating it from our lives altogether. However, we can’t ignore the negative effects of constant exposure to light emitted by screens on our eyesight, especially in the youngest.

So why is it so important to implement healthy habits related to the use of technology? How can we minimize the potential negative effects while enjoying the many benefits of technology? Here are some proven ways:

Adequate lighting

 

Use different sources of light in your child’s room: a desk lamp supports learning, a ceiling lamp keeps the rhythm of sleep, and a bedside lamp creates a pleasant atmosphere before bedtime.

Time outdoors

 

Encourage your child to spend time outdoors, especially in winter, to benefit from natural daylight and ensure proper eye development.

Limiting time in front of the screen

 

Monitor the time your child spends in front of TV screens, smartphones or tablets, according to experts. Also provide him with alternative forms of activity.

UV protection

 

Ensure that your child’s eyes are protected from UV radiation by wearing sunglasses and avoiding overexposure to the sun.

Regular eye examinations

 

Eye examinations are key to the healthy development of a child’s eyes. Schedule examinations at different stages of life, and a specialist will use advanced tools to accurately assess your vision.
