Question: How harmful is it for a child to read or use a phone in a moving car?
Myopia Control Glasses
Answer: It is highly detrimental. Because the vehicle vibrates constantly, the eye's focusing system (ciliary muscle) must adjust at an extremely high frequency. This "overload" causes an immediate spike in pseudo-myopia, which eventually converts into real axial growth. In Malaysia's heavy traffic, encourage your child to look out the window rather than at a screen.
