My daughters eyes get watery when she watches TV, reads books, or looks at bright toys. She also has trouble handling sunlight and seems sensitive to bright light. Im wondering if this could be a vision problem or some deficiency. She also tends to focus too much on the TV and doesnt blink much. We try to limit her screen time, but Im still concerned if theres an underlying vision issue that needs attention. What should I do, and is it something that needs immediate care? Should we be worried about her wearing glasses?
Your daughter's watery eyes while watching TV, reading, or playing with bright toys, and sensitivity to sunlight, may indicate dry eye syndrome, digital eye strain, or potentially, a condition like photophobia; to avoid potential long-term vision problems, consult a pediatric ophthalmologist for a comprehensive eye exam to rule out any underlying conditions; in the meantime, encourage your daughter to follow the 20-20-20 rule, blink regularly while watching TV, and adjust the screen's brightness and contrast.
