Abstract: there is sufficient evidence that increasing outdoor activities reduces the incidence of myopia. The evidence from epidemiology is consistent and reliable. There is evidence that children who spend more time outdoors have a lower incidence of myopia than those who spend more time indoors., Some time ago, the most “boiling” thing for scientists all over the world was that the gravitational wave predicted for a hundred years was finally detected. Although many people believed its existence before, it was still exciting when the day when it was really confirmed came., In fact, most of the development of science has gone through such a stage, especially in modern times when everything is changing with each passing day, “change and development” has become a theme. For example, when we think “myopia” is just a small problem, it has quietly changed., According to the international ophthalmology news, the prevalence of myopia is gradually increasing in China. The current younger generation The incidence of myopia (18-30 years old) is 80-90%. With the growth of age, the proportion of myopia will spread among the whole adult population. This means that China will face 80-90% of adult myopia in the future, and about 8-9 million people will need to wear glasses. Worse than this, more and more young people develop high myopia, which will lead to obvious myopia Partial lesions, further leading to visual loss. These changes will not be prevented by glasses correction, but will increase with age. At present, among 80 ~ 90% of young people with myopia, about 20 ~ 30% suffer from high myopia. Among them, 50% of patients may have severe visual loss. Therefore, in the future, in addition to about 8 ~ 9 million teenagers in China will have myopia, about 2 ~ 3 million high myopia will have the possibility of blindness. This number is undoubtedly huge., The Spring Festival is coming to an end, and the students are about to go to class and start their intense study in the new semester. As we all know, with the development of society, students’ learning pressure is no less than that of office workers. Adhering to the principle of not letting children lose at the starting line, more schools and parents also take the initiative to send their children to cram schools one after another, resulting in children spending almost more than a dozen hours a day close to their eyes., The huge learning pressure not only makes many students lose the fun of childhood, but also unknowingly hurts their bodies. The first is their eyes. Professor Ian Morgan from Melbourne National University, Australia, explained the role of outdoor time in myopia prevention and treatment during the 2015 international myopia conference, which can be said to give us a wake-up call., The professor pointed out that there is sufficient evidence that increasing outdoor activities can reduce the incidence of myopia. The evidence from epidemiology is consistent and reliable. There is evidence that children who spend more time outdoors have a lower incidence of myopia than children who spend more time indoors. At present, about 20 papers have published repeated and similar conclusions with this evidence., According to the above point of view, looking back at the current situation in China, it is not difficult to see that the “prevalence of myopia is gradually increasing” has a basis. Another thing that deepens the severe situation of myopia is that there is a common concept around us that “using glasses will cause further damage to the eyes”. But the truth is: adequate and correct myopia correction will not make vision worse. If children’s myopia is not corrected, their vision may deteriorate faster.,
some time ago, the most “boiling” thing for scientists all over the world was that the gravitational wave predicted for a hundred years was finally detected. Although many people believed its existence before, it was still exciting when the day when it was really confirmed came.
and
in fact, most of the development of science has gone through such a stage, especially in modern times when everything is changing with each passing day, “change and development” has become a theme. For example, when we think “myopia” is just a small problem, it has changed quietly.
according to the international ophthalmology news, the prevalence of myopia is gradually increasing in China. At present, the incidence of myopia among the younger generation (18 ~ 30 years old) is 80 ~ 90%. With the growth of age, the proportion of myopia will spread among the whole adult population. This means that China will face 80 ~ 90% of adult myopia in the future, and about 8 ~ 9 million people will need to wear glasses.
Worse than this, more and more young people develop high myopia, which can lead to obvious eye lesions and further loss of vision. These changes will not be prevented by glasses correction, but will increase with age. At present, among 80 ~ 90% of young people with myopia, about 20 ~ 30% suffer from high myopia.

not only makes many students lose the fun of childhood, but also unknowingly hurts their bodies. The first is their eyes.

according to the above views and looking back at the current situation in China, it is not difficult to see that “the prevalence of myopia is gradually increasing” is well foundedYes. Another thing that deepens the severe situation of myopia is that there is a common concept around us that “using glasses will cause further damage to the eyes”. But the truth is: adequate and correct myopia correction will not make vision worse. If children’s myopia is not corrected, their vision may deteriorate faster.
China is not only a big country, but also a “short-sighted country”. From the macro, for the future of the nation, from the micro, for our own health, we should all pay attention to the protection of vision, and we can’t let myopia infringe on our eyes.
