East Asian Children Most at Risk from Myopia - Study

Researchers from the Australian National University who conducted a
study across the globe found that nearly 90 per cent of school-leavers
haveshort sightedness.
They claim that the main reason for the problem is that children in
East Asia spend several hours studying and have very less outdoor
exercise. They found that because of tedious study habits the
children's eyes get strainedleading to several other eye-related
problems.
The study claims that the Asian studying habits are solely responsible
for the problem. Scientists said that children should be allowed to
play outdoors at least two hours a day or else they will get myopia or
several other eye-related problems.
