Nowadays, most of the children are spending their time at home playing games on their mobile phones or watching cartoons on TV. But doctors believe that this is bad for their eye health.
Looking at mobile, iPad, laptop or television for too long can be fatal for children's eyes.
Dr. Apijit Kaur, HOD, Department of Ophthalmology, King George's Medical University, Lucknow, says that no one should look at a digital screen for more than 20 minutes because doing this makes your eye layer dry.
This causes pain in the eyes and then the person starts rubbing his eyes, due to which there is a risk of any infection reaching the eyes from our hands. Dr. Apijit Kaur said that after every 20 minutes, the screen view should be stopped for some time and the eyes should be blinked.
By doing this, a layer of fluid in the eyes comes over the eyes. And it helps in preventing them from drying out.
The layer of lubricant in the eyelid falls off after blinking and the cornea also gets oxygen. That is why these exercises are given to children on a regular basis and they should keep repeating this to the elders.
