- Blurred vision: Using a digital screen for long periods of time can result in blurry vision, especially when focusing on distant objects.
- Headaches: Untreated myopia can cause serious eye strain, which in turn results in headaches.
- Head tilting or squinting: If you notice your child tilting their head while watching TV or squinting their eyes, it’s a sign that they are having difficulty focusing. This could be a sign of myopia.
- Looking at objects a bit too closely: Oftentimes, children cannot verbally explain how they feel but they can express it in a non-verbal way. If you notice your child moving closer to the TV or that they have trouble seeing the blackboard at school, it can signal myopia.
