Children who watch movies during their early days of childhood are more prone to their eyesight problems.Is that really a stuff that makes sense.I personally am of the opinion that the television or the other sources of entertainment are not good both for eyes and the mental stature of the children.It therefore is on the part of the parents to take same prohibitions in this regard as far as the child's watching movies is concerned.

Uh, I grew up watching tv and I can see. Sure I wear contacts but you know what, that's called Heredity and my dad is the same as me. People back in the day before tv had eyesight issues too. I also don't think it's bad for the mental stature because there are a lot of things one can learn from movies and they make educational things like that for children. Entertainment can come from all sources, I'd rather my kid be watching tv than outside burning ants with a magnifying glass.

Personally I don’t think that watching movies can affect the eye sight of childrens if they maintain a distance and do not always sit in front of the tv. Everything has a limit and if you cross that then you are bound to face problems and that is what is happening with the childrens now a days. The parent don’t know exactly what to do and that is why such problems. And also if we do excersie of eye then we can avoid it to a longer time

I love movies. yet i think that todays movies are often dangerous to let the kids watch them. I never believed that anyone sane could emulate bad things watched in movies, but a kid doesnt yet understand very well what to believe. So i think that more than physical problems, the danger could be psychological.

Well i guess that explains why my eye site is so crappy. lol Seriously, my parents just sat me in front of the tube, while i just watched for hours upon hours. I should have been a fat little kid, but thank god for my Dad's metabolism ;)
