I was doing an examination on a five year old boy yesterday. Not only was the mom looking at her device, but her two year old son was also.
Over the last several decades, increased near work has attributed to the increase of near-sightedness in the population. When I went to optometry school over 30 years ago, the average population was far-sighted while the average population in the optometry school was near-sighted.
It's hard to predict how the tremendous amount of close up work everyone is doing, especially very young children, will haveon one's vision. There definitely won't be a shortage of patients.
