Doctor's advice:

• ‘We need to walk in the open air in daytime at least two hours a day. Parents need to minimize time a child spends with gadgets and watch his posture – it is not the last factor that impacts vision. Videos should be shown on a big screen at a distance of two meters or more, while use of gadgets should be limited to an average of ten to fifteen minutes several times a day.’ ‘Adults also have myopia progressing, at least as not fast as babies do. If you spend a lot of time with gadgets and computer, to 25-30 years computer myopia is likely to develop. Exercises for eyes help to distress your eyes.’
