On Gaming – Green Time Before Screen Time
Green Time Before Screen Time Remember this, print it on your shirt, put it on the wall in your home and clinic.

Provided eye health is intact and strong, the only obstacle to clear sight is the Refractive State (‘RS’, commonly referred to as Refractive Error, ‘RE’). Some people are nearsighted…
