Why Kids’ Eye Power Is Increasing | Sunlight vs Screens Explained

When a child is born, the eye is naturally small. As the child grows, the eye length increases until light focuses sharply on the retina.
This sharp focus sends a “stop signal” from the brain, helping eye growth stabilize.

In this video, Dr. Bhanu Pangtey, Eye & Retina Specialist, explains:

• How normal eye growth happens in children
• Why clear retinal focus is essential in early years
• Why children’s eyes are becoming longer worldwide
• Why myopia (distance vision blur) is increasing rapidly
• The real role of sunlight exposure in eye development
• Why outdoor play is more important than just limiting screens

Recent scientific studies show that reduced sunlight exposure in childhood may prevent the brain from sending the natural stop signal, allowing the eye to keep growing longer — leading to increasing eye power and blurred distance vision.

👶 Parents are advised to encourage:
• 2–3 hours of outdoor play daily
• Reading and studying in natural light when possible
• Early eye check-ups for children
