A recent study shows that about half the world’s population
will become short sighted by 2050. This news is incredibly shocking. In
addition, about 1 billion people may have a significantly increased risk of
blindness. Researchers say that this phenomenon is due to the increase in
Myopia. According to the American Optometric Association, myopia, also known as
nearsightedness, is a condition in which people can see close objects very
clearly but have impaired vision when things are farther away. “This occurs
when the eyeball is too long or the cornea is too curved. As a result, the
light entering the eye isn’t focused correctly, and distant objects look
blurred”.
Myopia currently affects about 30 percent
of the U.S. population, but there may be a significant increase in those numbers
if we don’t take the necessary precautions. This is likely due to a combination
of environmental factors and lifestyle changes. This phenomenon can be
explained by people spending more time indoors dealing with work related
activities, and spending less time outdoors. In this new age in society,
technology may be to blame for the sudden rise of myopia. In order to combat
this condition, there must be some kind of reform with regards to public health
care. Eye care services are responsible for managing the rapid increase in
myopes. 
One plan involves annual eye examinations
for young children. The idea is to find symptoms of the condition early so
preventive measures can be taken promptly. Future generations should also be
spending less time on electrical devices, such as tablets and iPhones to reduce
their risk. This could be a difficult task to accomplish, due to the fact that
technology has grown into the fabric our schooling and teaching methods.
Tablets and IPads have been used to facilitate teaching all across the globe.
Although technology has become a valuable resource in and outside of the
classroom, research shows they may be doing more harm than good.

I was just thinking of this topic today when I stepped outside in the bright light from being inside all morning. My eyes have become very sensitive to sunlight as I've grown older. I have contacts and wear glasses and sunglasses occasionally but I was wondering if there was something more that could be causing the issue! Definitely going to think twice when I turn my brightness up on my phone and put my phone down more often!

The advanced technology we've grown fond of over the years have become a sort of blessing and a curse. Myopia is threatening the vision of future generations, but its scary to think we are already seeing evidence of this today. Optimistically thinking, I'm sure we'll find way to counteract this eye condition.

ReplyDeleteThe fact that there's a possibility that half the world's population will be short-sighted by 2050 is startling but not entirely surprising. In recent years technologies with screens have been more popular especially with young age groups. Although these technologies are being incorporated into classrooms they are also being used outside of the classrooms. I think it would be important to encourages parents to show there kids to use technology less and go outside and play more. Maybe that could delay the populations increasing short-sightedness.

It startles me as well that half of the world's population will be short-sighted by the year, 2050. Technology has taken over our life, and though it is seen as a problem, we are not doing anything to fix it.

I went for checkup twice after taking the natural treatment from the herbalist called Dr onokun and i tested negative. contact him on email: Dronokunherbalcure@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteI thought my life had nothing to offer anymore because life became meaningless to me because I had HERPES virus, the symptoms became very severe and bold and made my family run from and abandoned me so they won't get infected. I gave up everything, my hope, dreams,vision and job because the doctor told me there's no cure. I so many drugs but they never cured me but hid the symptoms inside me making it worse. I was doing some research online someday when I came across testimonies of some people of how DR Aire cured them from HERPES virus, I never believed at first and thought it was a joke but later decided to contact him on the details provided and when I messaged him we talked and he sent me his herbal medicine and told me to go for a test after two weeks. Within 9 days of medication the symptoms disappeared and when I went for a test Lo and behold I was NEGATIVE by the Doctor Who tested me earlier. Thank you DR Aire because I forever owe you my life and I'll keep on telling the world about you. If you are going through same situation worry no more and contact DR Aire via drairehome@gmail.com or WhatsApp him via +2347036740271 2 diabetes cure
