Why is it important to bring our children out? How does it protect their eyesight?
In a major comparative study between children's lifestyle in Singapore & Australia to identify the major cause of myopia, it was noted that the major differentiating factor is not the hours of mugging their homework, neither is it the number of hours of computer games they play; but the major difference was found to be …
the number of hours of outdoor activities which the children engage in everyday!
The Australians spend 3 times as much of their time outdoors than Singapore children.
How does going outdoors improve our chance to protect our eyesight?
Scientists' speculation runs from sunlight is better than artificial light; our eyes positive reaction to sunlight; outdoor environment somehow protects our eyes, genetically Australians may be less vulnerable to myopia, and the list goes on and on...
While the scientist are debated on the possible reasons, I am just going to bring my children out!
Cheers!
