what do you think of that? I saw a show called Dr. Know
once where they tested the eyes of people who are on the computer for hours and hours and it didn't show that their eyesight is weakened. Also what about all those people who stare at a computer screen for their job. I know that my eyes feel the strain after being on here for 2-3 hours. But don't you think that limiting my child to only 1/2 an hour is a little fanatical. I do understand that I don't want my child on the computer for hours and hours, for more reasons than eyestrain. I thought it would be better to limit it to 1 hour a day. You thoughts?

well you could get a second opinion but imo 1/hr is fine but no longer since he is young. i spend about 12-15 hours infront of the computer a day and my eyes are ok for now.

My children get 30 min on the computer a day normally. I want them to be playing and using their imaginations instead of sitting in front of a tv or computer all day.

Listen to your child's eye doctor. What may seem like fun now won't be when her vision is affected. Also with so many other things for her to do, why is she on the computer?

A six year old should be out playing in the fresh air not sitting in front of a computer. They can do that when they get older and need to use the computer. I think your doctor was telling you nicely to get your child active.

People who have worked on computers for years can develop problems with their sight. It would be beneficial if she has any underlining problems with her eyes to limit her use of the computer.
