• 78.3% of children met screentime guidelines.
• Parents generally perceived outdoor time as important but were largely unaware of its protective effect against myopia.
• No significant association was found between outdoor time and screentime (p = 0.30).

Interpretation:

Limitations:

• Low response rate of 34% from invited parents.
• Potential underreporting of screentime.

Conclusion:
