The boy allegedly didn’t listen to what his dad told him and he would often sneak his phone use.
His father noticed something wrong but it was a little bit late because the boy has already become cross-eyed. The doctors who were treating the boy are not yet certain if would recover. They said that the boy has to reduce his phone use. If his condition doesn’t improve, he may need to undergo corrective surgery.
One of the doctors, Dr. Su, said that our eyes are vulnerable at a young age. Therefore, if they get exposed to electronics early on, it can affect our eyes.
The eyes become adapted to the short distance to the phone, which can result in nearsightedness (myopia). Over time, it can also lead to becoming cross-eyed.
