CCLS Member Spotlight: Recommendations for the use of digital technologies: schools, kura, and early childhood education

The Cornea and Contact Lens Society (CCLS) is proud to highlight the contributions of Dr. Rasha Altaie, a distinguished Pediatric Ophthalmologist and CCLS Councillor. Dr. Altaie has played a significant role in the creation of the "Recommendations for the use of digital technologies: schools, kura, and early childhood education." This vital document provides parents with expert advice on balancing the educational benefits of digital technology with crucial health considerations, including the prevention of eyestrain, myopia progression, and dry eye in children.

The guidelines aim to assist parents and educators in implementing best practices for digital technology usage, ensuring that children's vision and overall health are protected while they benefit from educational technology.
