Did you know that near work activities (i.e., screen time) and less time outdoors are factors that can increase the progression of myopia?
Enter GMAC’s 24-Hour Tech Timeout—a challenge for families to spend a whole day away from screens! Grab a coat and head outdoors to prioritize your family’s eye health and make memories that last a lifetime.
To help your family make the most of your tech timeout, try one of these outdoor activities:
1
Have a Snowball Fight: Heads up! Your kids can exercise their vision both near and far as they launch snowballs across the yard.
2
Take a Winter Walk: While on your stroll, have the family call out their favorite nature find. If your kids are having a hard time seeing a bird on a branch or a snowflake, it may be time to visit the eye doctor.
3
Hide and Go Seek: Ready or not, here you come! This is the perfect game to test your children’s vision as well as their creativity when it comes to hiding spots.
