Question

Is your child’s tilting head when watching TV a bad habit or an eye condition?

Answer

If your child often tilts their head while watching TV, it could be a sign of an eye issue, which is generally caused by one of the following five reasons:

  1. The child may have myopia, amblyopia, or astigmatism.
  2. Paralytic strabismus
  3. Idiopathic nystagmus
  4. Congenital muscular or bony torticollis
  5. Esotropia, as there are various triggers for childhood strabismus and amblyopia. It is essential to identify the cause before treatment can be effective. Moreover, proper care in daily life is indispensable. It is recommended to eat less spicy food and more eye-friendly foods.
