Children As Young As Six Suffering From 'Midlife' Eye Disease Because They Spend Too Much Time in Font of a Screen

A rise in screen time has seen children as young as six suffer from an excruciating eye condition which usually affects adults, experts have warned.

Dry eye disease occurs when tears aren't able to provide adequate lubrication for the eyes.

It normally affects people aged 50 to 60, and if left untreated can be extremely painful with symptoms including gritty, sore, red and sensitive eyes.
