TRI-CITIES, WA - As students continue learning from home and using technology, increased screen time can have a negative impact on eyesight.

Madeline Carter talked with Dr. Elizabeth Heaston Thompson from the Heaston Thompson Vision Clinic to find out what parents can do to protect kids from vision problems related to online learning.

Dr. Liz says there are several things parents can do right now to protect their kids. She recommends:

Skipping lines of text when reading or re-reading lines

Headaches

Poor reading comprehension

Rubbing eyes

Short attention span with reading

Covering one eye when looking at something up close or in the distance

If local optometrists are not currently open for regular vision screenings, Dr. Liz suggests scheduling eye exams for the near future.
