Children's Vision Digital Screen Tips 18" x 24" Poster

Digital screens have become a common part of a child’s world, being used for interactive play, reading, learning, and to socially connect. The daily time a child spends viewing a digital screen (including a cell phone, tablet, laptop, computer, TV, or gaming screen) can add up quickly. Increased time using digital devices, especially when held close to the child’s face, can make undiagnosed vision problems worse, or create new ones.

Leaders in children’s health encourage families to monitor a child’s use of digital devices. Families can create a Family Media Plan to reduce the impact of long-term use of digital devices on their child’s health.
