CBS: There's new evidence that digital devices can hurt your children's eyesight. A new study finds school-aged children who spend seven hours or more a week using computers or mobile video games, *triple* their risk for nearsightedness, or myopia.




”When you’re on those devices, you tend to be inside and you’re not outdoors in the sunlight. Interestingly, sunlight actually triggers dopamine which actually keeps the eye from getting too elongated during childhood.” --
