Too much screen time can cause eye strain, irritability, and other discomforts for kids. It can also raise their risk for myopia, also known as nearsightedness. By limiting your child’s screen time, you can help protect their developing eyesight and encourage them to find a balance between technology and the world outside of the screen.
Talk to Your Kids About Screen Time
It’s important for your child to understand why too much screen time can be harmful to their eyes, attitude, and lifestyle. So be sure to talk to them about screen limits and why they are a good thing! Do note that even though cutting back on screen time may help reduce the risk of myopia, there is no guarantee that your child will not develop nearsightedness. The condition is common and depends on more than just technology use. Make sure you monitor your child’s eye health with a comprehensive eye exam every year and get them the right vision correction when needed.
What People Say About Us
The staff here is amazing. We have always had a great experience and never have to wait long for our appointments. My husband and I will be coming to Standard Optical for years to come.

Standard Optical is by far the least expensive place to get glasses in Utah. I have priced them all (including Costco) and it is hundreds of dollars less for an examination and two pair of glasses. Don't believe me? Then call Standard Optical first and compare their prices with anyone else.
