According to Voice of China’s “Guangzhou-Guangxi News,†the World Health Organization’s latest research report stated that the number of myopic patients in China is currently as high as 600 million, which is almost half of China’s total population. The high school students and college students' myopic rates have all exceeded 70%, and have increased year by year. Young people's myopia rate is highest in the world, and primary school students' myopia rate is also close to 40%. In contrast, the U.S. schoolchildren’s myopia rate is only 10%.

There is no direct evidence that the occurrence of myopia is determined by which gene. In the three major factors that induce myopia (heredity, environment, and nutrition), scientists believe that environmental factors play a greater role in the development of myopia. Electronic screens, poor light, incorrect posture, too long eye usage, and items that are too close to the eyes are all bad eye environments or habits.
The high incidence of myopia is also directly related to the concept of family education in China. Experts say that on the one hand, parents put pressure on children and force them to increase their learning intensity and frequency in order to obtain higher scores in the exams, resulting in young people rarely have time to relax by outdoor activities. On the other hand, more and more technology products (smartphones, tablet computers, etc.) make children often look at electronic screens for a long time, causing them to increase their eye strength and reduce their blinking frequency. These are the factors that cause vision loss.
Regrettably, not only parents, some schools did not realize the harm of electronic products to the visual health of young people, but instead promoted the use of tablet computers. This not only imposes the risk of myopia on the child, but also worsens the vision impairment of myopia children and further pushes them towards high myopia.
Recent evidence shows that the occurrence of nearsightedness is characterized by a progressively younger age. About 3% of children aged 3-6 years are myopic.
According to experts, theoretically speaking, children should establish eye care records in hospitals from the age of 3, and insist on performing a comprehensive eye examination every semester. Once the child has frequently blinked, slanted, looked at, and blinked frequently, it may be a problem with the eyes. Parents should pay attention and take the child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment.
