My toddler turning 4 watched a lot of tv during covid lockdowns as i had to work from home with no childcare. he now relies on it. will this result in future vision problems such as myopia? im very worried and have a lot of guilt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Watching TV can become a habit and does not result in myopia. This happened to a lot of people. You can gradually wean him away with other activities eg picture books, toys etc. Good luck
