Regular television viewing in children does not usually cause blindness, but it may cause the development of myopia, and if the child develops high myopia, there is a risk of blindness.
Children’s eye blindness is usually caused by certain diseases such as retinoblastoma or trauma to the eye, etc. The biggest danger of children watching TV frequently is that it can easily cause the development of myopia, and the patient may experience vision loss, but usually will not lose his/her eyesight. However, if the child develops high myopia, retinal detachment and other lesions may occur, so there is a risk of blindness.
Therefore, children need to develop good eye habits, control the amount of time they spend watching cell phones and TV every day, and avoid eye fatigue to protect their eyes.
Children with vision loss are advised to seek prompt medical attention to assess their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
