prevent myopia with the 20-20-2 rule

voorkom bijziendheid met de 20-20-2 regel

Steeds meer kinderen hebben een minsterkte: ook wel myopie of bijziendheid genoemd. Een kind met myopie kan scherp dichtbij zien - bij het lezen van een boek of bij het kijken naar een telefoon - maar woorden en objecten zijn wazig op een schoolbord of kijken naar de televisie. Bij myopie is dan ook sprake van een minsterkte.

Vaak is myopie erfelijk bepaald. Echter, er zijn verschillende factoren die myopie bij kinderen kunnen verergeren, bijvoorbeeld teveel van dichtbij kijken. Dit gebeurt als een kind veel en landurig naar een beeldscherm kijkt.

Om ervoor te zorgen dat myopie niet verergert, kan de 20-20-2 regel toegepast worden. Wil je meer weten over deze regel? Lees dan verder of informeer bij één van onze winkels.

20-20-2 rule

Children's screen time has never been higher. They spend hours staring at screens every day, not only at school but also outside of school.

The 20-20-2 rule can be easily applied in these situations. It means that after 20 minutes of screen time (for example, on a mobile phone, laptop, or tablet), look into the distance for 20 seconds and spend 2 hours outside each day.

Spending enough time outdoors is important, especially for children. Their eyes are constantly shifting between different distances outdoors, and they're exposed to daylight. Time to get out and play!

Curious about your child's eye health? Schedule an appointment at one of our stores near you. If you'd like to schedule an appointment for a child under 12, please call us to schedule an appointment.
