How Much Screen Time Is Too Much for Children?

Children can spend hours a day looking at computer screens and other digital devices Some eye care ………(1) say all that screen time has led to an increase in what they call computer vision syndrome

Nathan Bonilla-Warford is an optometrist in Tampa, Florida, with VSP, Vision Service Plan, a big

……… (2) provider He says he has seen an increase in problems in children

NATHAN BONILLA-WARFORD: “I see a lot more children who are coming into the office either because their parents have noticed that they have ……….(3) or red or watery eyes or discomfort, or because their prescription, their near-sightedness, appears to be increasing at a fast rate and they're worried.”

Dr Bonilla-Warford says part of the problem is that children may be more likely than adults to ignore early warning signs

NATHAN BONILLA-WARFORD: “Even if their eyes start to feel ……….(4) or they start to get a headache, they’re less likely to tell their parents, because they don’t want to have the game or the computer or whatever taken away.”

He says another part of the problem is that people blink less often when they use digital devices

NATHAN BONILLA-WARFORD: “The average person who uses a computer or an electronic device blinks about a third as much as we normally do in everyday life And so that can result in the front part of the ……….(5) drying and not staying moist and protected like normal.”

Eye doctors offer suggestions like following what is known as the 20/20/20 rule

NATHAN BONILLA-WARFORD: “Every twenty minutes, look away twenty feet or more for at least twenty seconds from whatever device you’re using.”

Twenty feet that's six meters

Other ………(6) include putting more distance between you and the device and using good lighting Of course, another way to avoid eye strain is to spend less time looking at screens Many experts say children should spend no more than two hours a day using

………(7) with no screen time for children under two

But not all eye doctors have noticed an increase in problems in children Dr David Hunter says he has not seen an increase in his practice as a pediatric ophthalmologist at Children’s Hospital Boston

He also serves as a ……… (8) for the American Academy of Ophthalmology

Dr Hunter thinks calling it a syndrome, as in computer vision syndrome, is a little much He says the real problem is simple

DAVID HUNTER: "Spending too much time in one place, ……….(9) on one thing, not looking away from their work, etc."

And while this might be tiring to the eyes, he says, it will not cause permanent damage

DAVID HUNTER: “While it is possible to develop fatigue looking at various screens for a long period of time, there’s certainly no ……….(10) that it actually causes any damage to the eyes.”
