Children can spend hours a day looking at computer screens and other digital devices. Some eye care professionals say this leads to an increase in 'computer vision syndrome'.

Nathan Bonilla-Warford is an optometrist in Tampa, Florida. He says he has seen an increase in problems for children.

"I see a lot more children who are coming into the office either because their parents have noticed that they have headaches or ted or watery eyes, or discomfort, or because their near-sightedness, appears to be increasing at a fast rate and they're worried."

Dr Bonilla-Warford says part of the problem is that children may be more likely than adults to ignore early signs. "Even if their eyes start to feel uncomfortable or they start to get a headache, they're less likely to tell their parents, because they don't want to have the game of the computer or whatever taken away,"

Eye doctors offer suggestions like the following which is known as the 20/20/20 rule. "Every twenty minutes, look away twenty feet (about 6 meters) or more for at least twenty seconds form whatever device you're using."

Other suggestions include putting more distance between you and the device and using good lighting. Of course, another way to avoid eye strain is to spend less time looking at screens. Many experts say children should spend no more than two hours a day using digital devices – with no screen time for children under two.
