  Actually, we become accustomed to the use of all kinds of electrical products including ipad. The screen of ipad equals to the light resource. That is to say, when the kid stares at the screen, their eyes don't need the reflection of lights. In addition, the pictures of ipad are so moving which will need the inner modulation of the kid's eyes. After a long time of using ipad, the kids' eyes will become changed in the shape of eyeballs. And the axial length will become longer. Thus the kids may get short sighted. You'd better not let your kids play the ipad for a long time. You should control their playing time. Or else, they may need to wear the eyeglasses which will be so convenient for their future life.

  No, it's fine to give ipad to your kid. Because it's a perfect object which can do a good job for your kid. For example, your kid can read some news on it and your kid also can have some references from it. Anyway, it is very convenient to have one. On the other hand, you should also pay more attention to time your kid use ipad, because if they spend too much time on it, it will damage their eyes. In other words, when they look at the screen for a long time, their eyes will also focus on it too long. Then it will lead to eye strain. So it will have some eye disease.
