Why Is My 5 Year Old S Eyes Burning Always?
My 5 years old son is always complaining lately that his eyes burn. he did an eye exam in october and he had 20/20 vision. he still seems to see well, but after 10 minutes of TV or computers hestarts to rub his eyes, since they burn. he is now saying that his eyes are starting to burn him almost oall day at school. Does this mean that he needs glasses?

Hi,
It's better to get his vision checked again. It's not advisable for children to watch television or play video games for longer duration. They cause lot of strain to eyes. It's better to discourage those habits in children. He should have sound sleep too.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
