We've all heard this one - but it's actually not true! While sitting very close to a screen may cause eye strain or headaches, it doesn't cause permanent eye damage. However, if a child consistently wants to sit very close to the TV, it could be a sign of nearsightedness.

That's why regular eye exams are so important - especially for kids! 👧👦
