As students head back to school, more learning is happening on screens—whether at home or in the classroom. Setting up a kid-friendly workspace can help protect their eyes and support healthy study habits.
Smart Eye-Friendly Setup Tips for Kids
1. Keep Screens at Eye Level: Laptops and tablets should be propped up so kids aren’t looking down for long periods.
2. Good Lighting Matters: Make sure the study area has soft, even lighting to reduce glare and squinting.
3. Encourage Screen Breaks: Teach your child the 20-20-20 rule—every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
4. Watch the Distance: Kids should sit about an arm’s length from the screen to ease strain on their eyes.
A thoughtful setup helps kids stay comfortable, focused, and ready to learn—without putting extra stress on their vision. Schedule a Back-to-School Eye Exam if your child complains of tired eyes, blurred vision, or frequent headaches, it may be time for a comprehensive eye exam.
