There are some important reasons why we should limit the use of digital devices in children.
The children’s eyes are vulnerable.
In children, about 15% of the 400 nm of blue light can reach the retina, while in adults only about 1 % of the 400 nm blue light reaches the retina.
The eye has inbuilt mechanisms to prevent damage due to blue light.
Vital ingredients needed for eye health in children include lutein, zeaxanthin, bilberry extract, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, and Zinc
Lutein and zeaxanthin absorb blue light
Lutein and zeaxanthin reduce the oxidative stress on the eyes
Hence it is important that we limit the amount of time spent by kids on digital devices.
