We’ve had several patients get in touch to say their children are complaining of sore eyes and headaches at the moment. Older children in particular, are spending many hours on screens whilst homeschooling. It is far from an ideal situation but with no other option at the moment, how can we help children avoid this discomfort, and help the long-term health of their eyes?
As a result of spending much more time on close tasks and less on long distance, like activities, like sport, a child may be less likely to notice if their short-sight is suffering so, it’s definitely worth keeping an eye on. With short-sightedness (myopia) specifically, the sooner it is identified the more chance we have of slowing the progression.
Remember, we are here. If your child is suffering from any changes to their vision, headaches, sore eyes, sensitivity to screens or anything else that gives you cause for concern, please get in touch. Regardless, your child should still have their eyes examined at least every two years, more frequently if they have had any issues. We are open for appointments and can also provide advice via phone or video call.
