Patient's question:
Can babies watch TV before they are two years old? Now the baby is one and a half months old and often dislikes watching TV and singing and dancing programs on the phone. The doctor said it might be astigmatism, and I am very worried. How can I verify if the baby has astigmatism?Doctor's answer:
Based on the current symptoms, for children of this age, due to their eyes not having fully developed, it is absolutely essential that they do not use mobile phones or computers at this stage. TV can be watched less frequently, not exceeding 20 minutes each time, and the child should be positioned further away, at least two meters away. Additionally, it is important to engage the child in more outdoor activities to encourage them to focus on distant objects. This helps prevent visual fatigue and the development of myopia.
