Visual Health Protocols
To maintain optimal visual health, it's essential to incorporate regular breaks from close-up work, ideally looking out at a distance every 30 minutes. Spending at least 20 to 30 minutes outside every 90 minutes of screen time can combat issues like myopia and sleep disturbances. Engaging in panoramic vision and allowing your eyes to relax are crucial for preventing strain and enhancing overall well-being.In this clip

When one is outside and wants to minimize myopia progression, is it important to look at things as far away as possible for as long as possible, or is it equally beneficial to just be outside and let the eyes move organically? I've been actively looking at faraway buildings and hilltops, but a) it has made me somewhat neurotic and stressed, and b) I sometimes feel that my eyes relax just as much by moving around on their own. Is there any scientific data supporting that looking at distant mountains is significantly more effective for eyestrain and myopia progression than simply being outside?
