@MoshabelaMosa @DrillUKZN Sedentary screen-based behavior affects vision, causes obesity, cardiovascular disorders and mental health issues. Its an emerging pandemic that may stay with us beyond Covid-19. We need to create a healthy living space with e-devices.

@DianevanStaden Screen time is a public health concern today. We need a multidisciplinary approach beyond eye care. Mental health and Rehabilitation professionals should be involved as a start.

@WorldCouncilOpt Screen time in children is a serious concern. in these lockdown conditions. We need to raise awareness about limiting its use to videochatting in those under 2years old as advised by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
