In Pakistan, our children are spending more time than ever on tablets, phones, and laptops. Whether it’s for online homework, watching YouTube cartoons, or playing games, their little eyes are constantly glued to a screen. As parents, we often worry about what they are watching, but we also need to worry about how they are watching.
The Growing Crisis: Eye Health Statistics for Children in Pakistan
Recent medical data from 2024 and 2025 reveals an alarming trend in pediatric vision. In major Pakistani cities, the prevalence of myopia (nearsightedness) among children under 12 has risen to nearly 54% in urban areas.
Studies show that 60% of Pakistani children are now exposed to excessive screen time, leading to significant health issues. Approximately 47% of students report frequent headaches, while over 70% suffer from symptoms of Digital Eye Strain. Because a child’s eye lens is more transparent than an adult’s, it cannot effectively filter the High-Energy Visible (HEV) blue light emitted by digital devices.
What is the Problem?
Digital screens emit Blue Light. Because children’s eyes are still developing, they cannot filter this light as well as adults can. Too much screen time often leads to:+1
- Aankhon ki thakan (Eye strain)
- Sir dard (Frequent headaches)
- Be-skooni (Difficulty sleeping at night)
- Dryness (Itchy or red eyes)
The Solution: Blue Cut Glasses for Kids
Blue Cut glasses are special spectacles designed to block the harmful blue light from screens. Think of them as sunscreen for the eyes.
Why Every Pakistani Child Needs Them:
- Protect Developing Vision: Since blue light reaches a child’s retina more easily, these glasses provide a necessary physical shield to prevent long-term damage.
- Better Focus on Studies: When eyes aren’t tired, children can concentrate better on their schoolwork and online lessons.
- Better Sleep Patterns: Many kids use tablets before bedtime. Blue cut glasses help ensure they still get a good night’s sleep by protecting their natural sleep cycle and melatonin production.
- No Prescription Needed: Even if your child has 6/6 perfect vision, they can and should wear zero-power Blue Cut glasses whenever they use a digital device.
