4. BLUE LIGHT PROTECTIVE GLASSES
If you worry about your kids' health, we suggest that you
do not allow them to use their smartphones all day.
Instead, you should help them follow the popular 20/20
rule. This rule is quite simple and beneficial. Just ask your
kids to look 20 feet away from the screen for at least 20
seconds after they have spent 10 minutes staring at their
phone or tablet screens. Another alternative is to buy
protective glasses. They offer a high degree of protection,
and they are pretty affordable too.

excessive exposure may cause retina damage over the long
haul. According to research, kids are at a higher risk of
retina damage due to constant exposure to blue light.
HOW DO THE GLASSES OFFER PROTECTION FOR THEIR
EYES?
Moreover, prolonged exposure to this wavelength for years
after years can cause vision problems after the age of 30.
For instance, exposure to UV light is associated with age-
related macular degeneration. This condition may result in
vision loss.

aka computer vision syndrome. Given below are some common symptoms of this
condition in kids:
Poor posture
Headaches
Fatigue
Eye tiredness
