Alok da why watching cricket have to be counted in screen time?, if a highlight of cricket comes nobody has any problem but when I see some local match highlights or a Video teaching me cricket why does everybody have problem when I can learn keeping or balling? Also nobody has problem when I am learning math or questions like why is Pluto not a planet where I am learning equal as cricket videos also these days I don’t see the screen and play cricket they tell me to sit and do something, I do craft but then I get bored as I am not crafty so I see the screen and I am not a reader as I get a headache so what should I do😡?

Unfortunately the eyes don’t recognise the difference between cricket or a mathematical table as far as the light entering is concerned. It registers pixels, brightness, photons and not the content. So part of the eye care, especially since you have reading glasses, is to reduce the screen time, blink often and give the eyes enough time to rest. 

Also playing cricket develops us in many ways but watching cricket is mainly entertainment and it is best to keep entertainment within limits and focus more on development in different directions which is possible during student days. Later it becomes difficult as nature becomes relatively hardened.

Affectionately,
