Slow Childhood Nearsightedness in 5 Steps

Nearsightedness is on the rise in children. Over the last 50 years, the incidence of nearsightedness in the US nearly doubled, to 42 percent. Evidence shows that at least part of the increase in nearsightedness, also known as myopia, has to do with near work activities; not just screens but also traditional books. There are also good data that suggests children who spend more time outdoors are less likely to develop myopia. Learn more at www.aao.org/eye-health/treatm...

When I was a little kid, I was cautious that I might be getting myopia one day, wearing glasses not convenient for playing football. However, I had understood that getting myopia could got me seeing things smaller, rather than far away objects looking blurred. I wish I had got such education. My dad had taken me to optometrist every year however, it had become too late when I had been diagnosed with myopia. My sons love playing football. Around 4 years ago, they had started to use iPad in school, and at home playing computer games. I had installed Visual Acuity Charts on my iPhone and checked their eyesight at least monthly, sometimes right after they had played too many hours of computer games. After finding their eyesight dropped near 20/20, the gametime ought to be reduced until their eyesight recovers above 20/20 in a few weeks’ time, getting back 30/20. So far so good.
