Do you wonder why your parents continuously tell us to stop watching TV or reduce screen time. Well its due to a simple reason the reason is our generation is getting spectacles at the pace which is much higher then any other past generations. In India around 21% of children are wearing spectacles!. Well my friends we are moving towards a new epidemic. It is predicted that by the year 2050 around 50% of children will surfer from myopia or farsightedness. It was earlier believed getting myopia was linked to your genetics. However this DNA theory failed miserably in 1970 given the rates of this situation increasing. This gave rise to a new theory The Near Work Theory meaning anything we do excessively near will lead to myopia. This is extended to smartphones/ tablets and computers will increase our 2% percentage chances of getting myopia. There was also another theory called the Outdoor theory suggests that these days children are spending less time outdoors meaning exercise, sports they are not doing that adequately in the natural light. Natural light has a positive effect on our eyes because it realises dopamine a happiness hormone. It is so impactful that Taiwan (a country in Asia) has a rule that all school students should have maximum 2hrs of outdoor physical education /activities. Some of you may think what is the big deal we will only get glasses. Well my friend it is a big deal because if you get glasses you can never take them of because myopia is irreversible my friends unless you have a surgery that also after 18 years of age and once in lifetime . I hope you agree with me and promise yourself you will take good health of your eyes from now on.
