Is Screen Time Hurting Your Child’s Eyes? Here’s How to Protect Them:

Screens are a part of everyday life—from virtual classrooms to video games. But for kids, too much screen time is leading to a growing concern: digital eye strain.

At EyeXpert Optical in Brampton, we’re seeing more children with symptoms like headaches, blurred vision, and tired eyes. The cause? Prolonged exposure to blue light from phones, tablets, and computers.

What Is Digital Eye Strain in Kids?

Digital eye strain (or computer vision syndrome) occurs when the eyes become overworked from staring at screens. Kids are especially at risk because their eyes are still developing and absorb more blue light than adults.

Common Symptoms:

  • Eye fatigue or rubbing

  • Blurred or double vision

  • Headaches after screen time

  • Red or dry eyes

  • Difficulty focusing in school

Why Blue Light Glasses Work

Blue light filter glasses are designed to block the high-energy light emitted from screens. They reduce glare and visual fatigue, helping protect your child’s vision during long screen sessions.

At EyeXpert Optical, we offer kid-friendly blue light glasses starting at $99—perfect for school, gaming, and homework. Available with or without prescription, these lenses reduce strain and support better sleep by minimizing melatonin disruption.

Do Kids Really Need Them?

If your child uses a screen for more than 2 hours a day (most do), blue light protection is essential. Whether or not they wear prescription glasses, they can benefit from blue light lenses—especially if they’re already showing symptoms of eye strain.

Book your kids Eye Exam in Brampton

Blue light glasses are only part of the solution. A full pediatric eye exam ensures your child’s vision is developing properly and helps catch any underlying issues early.
