Sensitive to light

2020-11-17 05:17:52
My 4 yr old boy seems sensitive to sunlight when going out in the sun to play. He would almost shut his eyes and gets to a shady place as soon as possible. Unfortunately, he is having a lot of screen time (more than 2hrs) every day owing to online classes and projects in the current scenarios. Is this light sensitivity normal for a 4yr old? How can i ensure healthy eyes for him?

Hello, Does he have any itching in his eyes? Or redness? If so,then he needs a consultation. If that's not the case, start him on genteal eye drops. Four times a day. Apart from his online classes, avoid giving him screen. (Including tv) . Take him outdoors,a shady place , get him involved in outdoor activities.. anything like cycling or just running around.
Next Steps
wash his eyes twice with cool tap water.
