During the lockdown, remember to exercise visual hygiene when online learning and even working from home. We recommend using the 20/20/20 rule. Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 to seconds!

Due to coronavirus lockdowns, less time outdoors and more time on screens is leading to significantly more people suffering from myopia, especially children.
