What is screen time?

In today’s world, a screen is an integral part of our day-to-day activities. Screen time and vision has a very important correlation. We need to understand this to make sure we take necessary precautions while using our various electronic devices.

“Screen time” refers to the amount of time a person spends staring at the digital displays of computers, tablets and smartphones.

Today, screens are used for work, education, communication and leisure. Small amounts of screen time can be useful and enjoyable for families as they enable us to connect with others, be creative and can be used for learning in children.
