New Delhi: For babies, whose eyes are still underdeveloped, this is an area of concern. Infants are sensitive to light and excessive artificial light and screens can alter their vision, and sleep, and even impact their cognitive functioning. Tremendous importance needs to be placed on the moderation of screen and artificial light exposure due to its adverse effects, in contrast to natural light encouraging healthy eye growth. Parents can adopt measures to ensure children are raised in an eye-friendly environment. This involves striking the appropriate balance between both types of lighting.
