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. Children stare at a screen for hours every day, not only at school but also outside of school.

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

Spending enough time outside is important, especially for children. Your eyes constantly switch between different distances outside and they are exposed to daylight. Time to go play outside!

Curious about the health of your child's eyes? Make an appointment at one of the stores near you. Would you like to make an appointment for a child <12 years old? We would like to request that you make this appointment by telephone.
