Reading can be addictive but there are certain things you need to keep in mind while your kid is reading her favourite book.
- Avoid her reading in dim or bad light. Ensure that there is enough light so that it does not strain her eyes.
- Never allow her read in a moving vehicle, it can be quite a strain on the eye.
- Reading while lying down can also be quite detrimental to the eye.
Taking good care of the eye is very important.
