Nowadays, schoolchildren have been spending most of their waking hours attending classes virtually.
However, staring at screens for long hours can take a toll on their sensitive and developing eyes, leading to problems like eyestrain, headaches, dry eyes, and more. Parents are encouraged to implement rules to keep their child’s gadget use to a healthy minimum to help prevent this.
Start by limiting screen time–that’s between an hour to a maximum of four hours of online learning per day, depending on their grade level, according to the Department of Education.
Moms and dads should also remind their online learners to take breaks and rest their eyes following the “20-20-20 rule”. Meaning they should look at something that’s 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes.
Distance also matters. Have your child sit about 2 feet away from their laptop, computer, or tablet. Make sure the gadget is positioned slightly lower than eye level, or about 4 to 8 inches.
Using a gadget that offers eye protection features can also help protect the eyesight further. Case in point: the Huawei MatePad T 10s.

The Huawei MatePad T 10s helps protect children’s eyesight from eyestrain and headaches with its intelligent, six-layer eye protection feature, which includes:
- Blue light filter that turns cold tones into warm tones to help protect the eyes from myopia
- Posture alerts that prompt users to correct their position if they try to lie down while using the tablet, as this can cause eyestrain through reduced circadian rhythm
- Bumpy road alerts to provide further care for children’s eyes under different light conditions and environments
- The eBook mode that, when activated, adjusts the colors on display to offer a paper-like reading experience
- Distance and brightness alert features that automatically display reminders to keep the tablet at a safe distance from children’s eyes

The Huawei MatePad T 10s proves its all-rounder capability further with even more features that make it an ideal tablet for work, play, and entertainment for other members of the family, too.

Its top features include the pre-installed Huawei AppGallery, which offers Huawei-compatible apps for learning, work, play, entertainment, and more.
There's also the Petal Search Widget, from which millions of apps, including those not available in the AppGallery, can be accessed directly on the tablet’s home screen while also providing suggestions and trending app information.
The Huawei MatePad T 10s runs on the new EMUI 10.1 operating system for a smooth experience. It boasts a 10.1-inch FHD display, with 80% screen-to-body ratio and ultra-slim bezels on both sides.
It also has symmetrical high amplitude speakers on both sides powered by Histen 6.0 3D audio technology and tuned by Harman Kardon for surround sound effects.
Lastly, the Huawei MatePad T 10s weighs 450 grams and has a thickness of 7.85 millimeters.
