Real-life observation-
"Why does my grandchild keep rubbing their eyes recently? They didn't used to be like this, and it's not even like they're on the phone or watching TV much."
If this sounds familiar, you're not alone — eye rubbing isn't always about screen time. It can be caused by dry eyes, allergies, eye strain, or sometimes even an early sign of a vision problem that needs a closer look.
If you've noticed this happening more often, don't ignore it. A simple child eye check can help us understand what's really going on.
At Eye See Eye Optometrist, our senior optometrist can take a closer look and guide you on what to do next.
"" It may seem like a small thing, but noticing these little changes early can make a difference. Kids and grandkids can't always tell you exactly what's wrong — they just rub and carry on. That's why it helps to get it checked early.""
