Let’s face it, our society is digitally focused, and we’re constantly looking at our phones and tablets. Whether we’re shopping online, watching movies, or have children that are doing virtual schooling, screen time is more common than it’s ever been. That means the blue light coming from those devices (and not just from the sun) can affect our well-being.

It’s what allowed our bodies to know the difference between daytime and nighttime. Therefore, our bodies functioned on that rhythm.

It can also contribute to digital eye strain, headaches, neck pain, blurry vision, and more. Some research even shows that long-term exposure can cause damage to your eyes.

Child glasses often come in bright colors designed to appeal to children and are more flexible than adult styles. Because the digital world is only expanding, it’s important to take care of your child’s eyes early on.
