The excessive use of screens is a contemporary problem that can have a number of effects on health. It is of particular influence on the onset and exacerbation of myopia, and for these reasons a group of professionals decided to draw up recommendations on a more sensible use of screens. The group comprised an ophthalmologist-epidemiologist, an orthoptist, paediatric and adolescent physicians, a youth health care nurse, an orthopaedic surgeon, a movement therapist-epidemiologist, health scientists and psychologists. They recommend that on history-taking, standard questions concerning screen use and its associated problems should be asked. The parents can then be given targeted lifestyle advice for the child, i.e. after 20-30 minutes continuous screen use there should be a change of activity, and that the child should spend 2 hours a day outdoors. These recommendations will promote the health of children's eyes as well as their general development.
过度使用电子屏幕是一个当代问题，可能会对健康产生多种影响。它对近视的发生和加重尤其有影响，基于这些原因，一群专业人士决定就更合理地使用电子屏幕制定建议。该小组由一名眼科流行病学家、一名视光师、儿科和青少年科医生、一名青少年保健护士、一名骨科医生、一名运动治疗流行病学家、健康科学家和心理学家组成。他们建议在问诊时，应询问有关电子屏幕使用及其相关问题的标准问题。然后可以针对孩子的情况，给家长提供有针对性的生活方式建议，即在连续使用电子屏幕20至30分钟后，应该改变活动，并且孩子每天应在户外活动2小时。这些建议将促进儿童眼睛的健康以及他们的全面发展。
