Question
Can a 14-month-old baby watch TV? I am worried that early exposure to screens may lead to astigmatism and other vision issues.
Answer
It is recommended that toddlers under two years old avoid excessive exposure to screens such as smartphones and computers. Television can be watched in moderation, but each session should not exceed 20 minutes, and the distance should be appropriate. Also, take your child outdoors more often to let them gaze into the distance, which can help prevent eye strain and myopia. If you have any concerns, you can take your child for an eye examination.
