Does Watching Movie In Cinema Theatre Cause Damage To Eyes Of Toddlers?
Question: Hi Opticians / GPs,
Are 2.5 year olds and 4 year olds too small for a movie in the cinema in terms of damage on the eye / eye development? When can a kid start watching movie in the cinema without too much impact on their eyes?
Thanks!

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.
I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.
I reviewed your question.
Two and half year old and 4 year old children can watch movie in cinema theatre. This will not affect eye development.
But usually by the age of 5 years the vision becomes normal and after this age the child can see clearly and watch the movie.
But watching now will not affect the eyes or damage the eyes.
Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you
