Patient's question:
My niece is 16 months old and loves watching TV, especially children's programs. If she's not allowed to watch TV, she won't eat. But I'm worried that watching TV might affect her eyesight. I'd like to ask for some advice: How should parents properly guide children who enjoy watching TV at this age?Doctor's answer:
Hello. According to what you said, I personally suggest that you should let her watch fewer electronic products, which might be better. This is also the best preventive method. There are no preventive eye drops for myopia for such a young baby. Choosing medication is not a good idea. The most basic method is to let her watch less TV. To protect your eyes, you should do more outdoor activities and try to reduce the time spent watching TV, using computers, and smartphones.
