[From article]
One study found that children who spent more time outdoors had a lower incidence of nearsightedness, probably because they rested their focusing eye muscles.
“We have something called the 20-20-20 rule, where we recommend every 20 minutes people should look at something at least 20 ft away for at least 20 seconds,” Dr. Rosenfield said.
The American Academy
of Pediatrics says kids under age two shouldn’t have any screen time at
all, and even older children should limit their screen time to two
hours a day. That time recommendation may be unrealistic for some, so
parents are advised to make sure that kids take frequent breaks to rest
their eyes.http://newyork.cbslocal.com/
