Abstract
Digital eye strain (DES), a condition
characterised by ocular and visual
discomfort associated with computer

While most research has focused on

in paediatric patients is essential as
approximately 70 per cent of threeto-five year-olds regularly use devices
and may spend up to 2.5 hours per day
viewing electronic screens.2
