The startling increase of nearsightedness (myopia) in children worldwide may be a direct conse- quence of this activity, pediatric eye doctors say. "In fact, children using computers before their visual systems are fully developed are at the very heart of the public health problem called 'computer vision syndrome'," says Bijan Minbashion, vice president of operations for Hakim Optical, a national leader in retail eye care. "A study at the University of California reports that 25% to 30% of computer-using children need corrective eyewear to work with the equipment comfortably and safely." To guard against early damage to your child's eyes, consider these Hakim Optical tips: Schedule a comprehensive eye exam as your child enters kindergarten, including near-point (computer and reading) and distance testing. Schedule an eye exam before school begins every year. The recommended distance for children between the monitor and the eye is 18-28 inches. Any closer risks eye strain. Be aware of behaviour that indicates prob- lems such as eye redness, frequent rubbing of the eyes, unusual posture, or complaints of blurriness or eye fatigue.
