Question
My mother holds the baby and watches her phone, and the baby always watches it too, for an average of 5 minutes each time, and it happens 3.4 times a day. Will this cause myopia, as the baby is now five months and seven days old?
Answer
Children’s eyes are still developing, and their cells are more sensitive to the light and electromagnetic radiation from phones. Generally, an hour a day is sufficient, and it’s also recommended to let children see the distant scenery outside the window from time to time to adjust and relax the eye muscles. It’s suggested that children take a break every day. It’s best to play and organize less, and eat more foods rich in vitamins to promote eye health. I hope this answer can be helpful to you.
