In East Asia, where Confucian culture prevails, children are faced with a heavy academic burden. Coupled with the popularity of the internet, large and small electronic screens have entered thousands of households, and the incidence of myopia among teenagers is getting higher and higher.
The high incidence of myopia is not only a personal health problem for children with myopia, but also has an impact on the national macroeconomic development and national defense construction.
In addition to the high prevalence mentioned in various data, I also noticed in my daily work that many myopia patients are still very young, and the degree of myopia is already very serious, reaching the degree of high myopia that we often say.
Asian teenagers have a high incidence of myopia, a high proportion of high myopia, and myopia is younger. Why does high myopia make everyone talk about it? Because high myopia is often associated with various eye diseases, such as glaucoma, retinal detachment, retinal degeneration and so on.
These eye diseases will cause permanent damage to the eyes of teenagers and affect the quality of life. At present, there is no good treatment.
From the perspective of personal health, high myopia has these hazards. From a macro perspective, we believe that the high incidence of myopia among teenagers is also a huge burden on the economy and even a social problem.
