It is the average number of hours children spend in front of a screen every day
Of 4 DAY HOURS
It's time that they spend on average daily looking at a screen for adolescents between 12 and 17 years of age, taking into account that even few schools still use class screens.
But are we really aware of the effects and consequences that this exposure may have on our eye health?
The ABUSIVE USE OF PROVISION PANTIES:
In addition, in the medium term, the misuse of screens and light Blue can cause more serious illnesses such as Macaw degeneration ASSOCIATED WITH THE AGE And damage to the Retina.
On a working day, Spanish people spend 11 hours looking at a screen, and 81% watch 5 or more screens throughout the day
“This absence of luminous and excessively sedentary activity has very harmful effects, such as the possible appearance of accommodative asthenoia (whose main symptoms are itching and redness of the eyes, as well as headache) or the progression of myopia in children resulting from this lack of natural light, ”says Manuel Díaz Llopis, Professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Valencia.
46% of children under 18 spend 3 hours or more a day looking at a screen.
“In most cases, this leads them to search for dark sites with little light, which is known as cavern effect. This lack of eye exposure to activities under natural light is directly related to the increase in myopia that is being observed in the world's population. In particular, in Spain it is estimated that over 10% of children under 80 years of age will end up developing myopia, ”says Díaz Llopis. 10
More than 60% of Spaniards acknowledge that they do not blink knowingly often while they see screens. Furthermore, more than 70% acknowledge that no rest is taken in a prescribed period every half an hour. “This lack of flashing encourages accommodative spasms, which promotes the resection of the cornea, leading to extra visual fatigue” (Manuel Díaz Llopis)
Prevention
More than 90% of Spaniards consider it a worrying time or too long to go before screens. But do we do something to avoid it?
Manuel Díaz Llopis, Professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Valencia, in collaboration with Empantallados, recommend following a series of guidelines to use screens responsibly and try to reduce possible harmful effects on eye health:
01
Self-assess
It is important to be aware of how we use screens in our day-to-day life. Measure the time you spend on them, and consider whether they want to do it. Pay special attention to activities you carry out simultaneously with screens: Sometimes it's better to give up multitasking and focus on one activity at a time.
02
Create a personal plan for digital use
Above all, determine what you want to use each of your devices for. Remove notifications from the home screen and you mark when to view your phone.
03
Get in touch with your friends or tricks
It incorporates resources to measure, define times and search for disconnection spaces. Some operating systems already allow for user times to be established; It incorporates alarms or establishes mechanisms to leave the devices parked at certain times.
04
Flash voluntarily frequently
05
Take short, regular breaks, look up and unfocus the screen.
If you have an opportunity, it is ideal to look at the window or turn your gaze towards a space with natural light. Ideally, these breaks should be taken every 45 minutes. Throughout the day, when visual fatigue is increasing, this frequency should be increased.
06
Use artificial tears eye lubricant to prevent secondary dry eye
07
Place yourself at a suitable distance from the screens
Ideally, we should be at a distance of between 35 and 50 cm for small screens (mobile, tablet), and even a minimum of 55 cm for other fixed screens.
08
If you are a parent, your example is important
Try to address your children without using your cell phone, try to combine all the procedures you have to do through the devices at a time of day and create a family digital plan together, with standards and measures that make a balanced use of technology in the family.
09
In children under 21 years of age, promote the use of screens outside school hours in hours without sun
To prevent the use of screens in dark sites from other activities under natural light.
10
Set a day a week of "screen detox"
Where screens are parked and offer alternatives to leisure, such as getaways to nature, sport, reading, etc.
11
Add blue light filter if we wear prescription glasses.

For this reason, it recommends you.
01
Always sit at least 50 cm from the screen
02
Flash voluntarily frequently
03
Take short, but periodic breaks

SP Future: A fictitious company created to raise awareness of the abusive use of screens by children.
At Multiópticas, we wanted to call attention to society on the increase in consumption in the smallest.
Can you imagine a world where cots have integrated screens? Or do the children's treks and easels have screens?
The reality is that children have access to devices with screens before the age of 2. Something worrying that affects visual health from a very early age.
At Multiópticas we decided to create fictitious products, based on comments from some parents on social networks, a Cuna, a Cellito and a Trona with integrated screens. Materializing an existing reality in specific products, a reality in most households with the use of screens since we are babies.

What can I do?
Review the view periodically.
Carry out a visual review at least once a year, preferably in September, to face the new challenges.
The view needs to rest during the study.
It is advisable to rest your view of the books or the screen every 20 minutes. Taking a break does not mean that they must stop studying, but simply do the following exercise: Raise the view and look at a distant object for a few seconds before reconcentrating to closely look at the material they are working with.
The importance of controlling posture.
Does your child twist their heads when reading or writing? This is one of the signs that can alert you that your child has a visual problem. Be aware of the following symptoms: If you stick a lot to the sheet, adopt strange positions with your head, you don't have a good criterion when choosing the colours, stop paying attention quickly-it may be a nuisance to your head when you have to hit your clothes too much, get close to the screens when writing or getting dressed.

Establish a good space to study.
To keep your eyes in mind, the space must have natural light, whenever possible. Artificial light will be used to avoid shadows. The scarcity of light can cause visual fatigue, so the room chosen to study should have both a lamp that, in general light, and a flexo for the table.
To be at a suitable distance from the screens.
Ideally, we should be at a distance of between 35 and 50 cm for small screens (mobile, tablet), and even a minimum of 55 cm for other fixed screens.

We are the same number of hours playing with screens as a professional sports player, and even so, we do not protect our view. For this reason, we have created Screen Wolves, a fictitious sports team that aims to raise awareness of the abusive use we make of screens, especially those over 55 years old. 85% of people over 45 years old in Spain are gamer without knowing it. They spend about 1.3 hours playing with mobile devices. At Multiópticas we believe that playing video games is positive, but knowing that the misuse of screens can cause myopia and ocular dryness.

Tips for new gamers
What can I do?
What can I do?
Take regular breaks.If you are one of those who spends the levels of 100 in 100, we recommend that you take short breaks on a regular basis.
Flash frequently.Having an incredible goal can make you avoid blinking for a long time. Remember to do so frequently so as not to lose that winning vision.
Have good lighting.Playing in the dark is cool, but having good lighting can be your best companion in a game.
Levant your gaze and look at a point away from the screen Make the most of it while you load the game to look away from the screen. You're not going to miss anything, just the cargo bar.
Play remotely with your computer or mobile phone.No, because you have your nose against the screen, you're going to play better. Keep your eyes and screens within a suitable distance to see everything more clearly.
Monsters: Monsters are no longer the ones who take our children's sleep.
Monsters exist... and they're going wrong. Keeping children awake is part of the past for them and now they have to settle for other less glamorous night work. Why? Because something has replaced them... the screens. A campaign to raise awareness of the reality of the nighttime use of screens and how it affects the dream and eye well-being of our children.
Using screens before going to bed negatively affects our eye well-being, which does not fall into the dangers of children browsing the internet without supervision. We must make sure that our sons and daughters use their electronic devices responsibly, because contrary to monsters, these consequences are very real.

Did you know...?
Almost 9 out of 10Parents would say they are concerned about the time their children spend on the screens.However Only 17.18% They know what Vamping is.
50.90% of parents don't know that Vamping causes insomnia, lack of concentration, anxiety and weight gain.
8 out of 10 children They have access to screens when they lie down.
By luck 9 out of 10 They are supporters of somehow limiting the use of this type of device.
Although more than 7 in 10 parents believe that Vamping negatively affects their eye health, only 29.4% is protected from its effects.
6 out of 10 Recognises that he has ever done Vamping
But there are many more: 8 out of 10They ensure that the last thing they see before they fall asleep is their cell phone, tablet, TV or monitor.
And just like their children, they are not protected either.
How to prevent screens from becoming your child's new monster:
01
Avoid sleeping in the same room as your electronic devices
Leaving them outside, we will make sure they don't have the temptation to use them while we sleep.
02
Make sure that they stop using screens 2 hours before going to bed
To avoid the effect of blue light on melatonin, which keeps them awake.
03
Note, that the TV is also considered Vamping
Many parents try to numb their children by putting their TV on them... But that only awakens you more!
04
If they are unrevealed, don't let them use screens
Even if it's a way that they stop giving the can, they're only going to make the monster grow.
05
Note, that the TV is also considered Vamping
Many parents try to numb their children by putting their TV on them... But that only awakens you more!
06
Teach them good sleep hygiene
Learning and practising good sleep habits is key to not falling into the clutches of Vamping.
07
Tell them a story or talk to them before they go to bed
Read a story or comment on how your days have gone, it is beneficial to dream.
08
And probably the most important advice: Preaches with the example
Although it sounds shocking, there are more adults who suffer from Vamping than children or adolescents.
We are the main reference for our children and it is normal for them to imitate our behaviors, for good and unfortunately, for bad.
Therefore, to make us aware of and work on ensuring that our use of screens is responsible can be the best strategy to combat the Vamping of our children.
