School’s out. Screen time is up... and your child’s eyes might feel the strain. Too much time on phones, tablets, and games can lead to digital eye fatigue—even in young eyes. This summer, try the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. And don’t forget—summer is a great time to schedule that annual eye exam before the back-to-school rush. #HealthyVision #KidsEyeHealth #DigitalEyeStrain #SummerTips #OphthalmologyCare

👒 Add a wide-brimmed hat for extra protection
