[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just went in for an eye exam and DS needs glasses! It's only 2nd grade! I feel horribly guilty. We are nearly screen-free and he is constantly reading at home. Did I cause this by pushing reading? Would he have been better off watching TV? He does use iPads, but only in school (K-2nd grade). I do prohibit him from reading in the car, and make sure he turns the lights out for a reasonable bedtime, but he reads a lot.[/quote] Regular outdoor time lowers risk of myopia. Reading doesn't increase it, unless you're not getting enough outdoors time because you're reading too much. But also some kids just need glasses. A lot of it is genetic.[/quote] He has been physically active, but from October to April it's mostly indoors. He'll be in soccer, but indoor soccer. Football, but indoor flag. Recess if often outdoors in the winter months. Does that matter? We live in a cold climate.[/quote]
