Are Screens Causing Short-Sightedness In Young People?
With increasing levels of short-sightedness among young people, some experts have concluded that a young life spent looking at small screens rather than in the great outdoors could be one explanation.
90% Myopic
Studies in East Asia, have shown that a staggering 90% of 18-year-olds, a group that would normally be associated with relatively good eyesight, are suffering from short-sightedness, also known as Myopia.
Also, in Western Europe, studies have shown a rise from 20% to 30% of young (mid-20s) adults being short-sighted to levels of 40% to 50% today.
