Nowadays, almost all children need glasses to see far away. Even very young children, even four-five years old, wear glasses. This raises the question in many minds, why this situation is happening. In medical terms, it is called myopia or nearsightedness. Everything can be seen well up close, but not far away.
Reason
- Environmental
- Congenital or genetic
- Unknown cause (idiopathic)
Our modern lifestyle has undergone a radical change. Adults are outside working for a living, while children are at home, in school or coaching.
They are given smartphones, computers, etc., which cause serious damage to their eyes. Being confined to four walls, their eyesight is also confined to those four walls.
But for children’s physical and mental development, as well as for their eyesight, they must spend a certain amount of time on the playground or somewhere else under the open sky. There, their distance vision will develop by looking at the distant horizon and the sky.
Children in the village do not have such problems. For this reason, they do not need glasses. Apart from this, children in the city do not want to eat green vegetables now. They are used to fast food, which fails to provide balanced food ingredients. They also do not want to eat small and large fish, milk, meat. These foods contain a lot of vitamin A, which is necessary for maintaining eye health and increasing vision.
Symptoms of myopia
