How to Protect Children's Eyes During Screen Time
Pediatric ophthalmologist and Academy member Luxme Hariharan, MD, recommends a simple five-step strategy, BLINK 20-20-20, to help prevent screens from damaging children’s eyes and vision.

B - BLINK: Blinking helps moisturize the eyes. Set a 20-minute timer and, when it goes off, look at an object 20 feet away for 20 seconds while blinking and relaxing the shoulders and neck muscles.
L - LUBRICATE: Lubricate your eyes with artificial tears throughout the day.
I - INCHES AWAY: Keep the computer or desk an arms length away and at a slight downward angle from your child's face.
N - NEAR DEVICE BREAKS: Encourage children to go outside or play with a pet, sibling or non-electronic toys when taking breaks from online learning or computer use.
K - KNOW YOUR SOURCES: Rely on eye health information from trusted sources, including your child’s pediatrician, pediatric ophthalmologist, the Academy or the American Association of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus. For example, there is no scientific evidence that the light coming from computer screens is damaging to the eyes. Because of this, the Academy does not recommend blue light glasses or any special eye wear for computer use.

Screen Use for Kids The American Academy of Ophthalmology does not have specific recommendations for amount of screen time for children. But parents should be aware of the possible effects of screen use on children’s eye

For people over 50, one of the most essential parts of the regular annual eye exam is testing for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This common condition causes the patient to gradually lose their central vision, leaving them with a fuzzy, dim, grey, or even completely blacked-out region right in the center of their field of vision.

Vision lost to AMD cannot be recovered, but treatments and lifestyle changes can slow the progression of AMD and help patients maintain more of their vision for longer. That’s why an annual test for macular degeneration is so important—it allows eye care specialists to identify and begin treatment of AMD before the vision loss becomes severe.

How We Test for Macular Degeneration - Eyesight Associates One of the most crucial parts of your annual eye exam is a test for macular degeneration (AMD). Learn more about how eye doctors test for AMD.

There is no way to predict how rapidly a cataract will develop. There are many kinds of cataracts and they can develop very slowly or progress rapidly. Usually, if one can determine their speed of development in the past few years, an educated guess can be made as to how rapidly they will develop over the next few years. There is no guarantee that the speed of cataract development will not increase or decrease in the future. Your ophthalmologist will be happy to provide you with his best estimate during your comprehensive eye examination. Call 478-923-5872
