Screen Time and Eye Health: Expert Warns of Myopia Risk in Children

Mexico City, June 6, 2025 – A recent video from Azteca Noticias highlights the growing concern over the impact of screen time on eye health, particularly in children. Ophthalmologist Dr. Alejandro Ortega warns of the link between prolonged screen use and eye strain, increasing the risk of myopia. "The prolonged use of screens can lead to symptoms of visual fatigue," Dr. Ortega explains. The video suggests the '20-20-20 rule' – taking a 20-second break to look at something 20 feet away every 20 minutes – to reduce strain. Azteca Noticias encourages viewers to protect their eyesight in this digital age, promoting awareness of a crucial health issue.
