Character of Asians
make diligent and
hardworking in the interpretation
of this study is
relatively high. But the price paid for such
achievement is the high level of eye damage,
especially nearsightedness or myopi.
Currently, an estimated 80-90 percent of students in Asia in several major cities in Asia suffer myopi or farsightedness and must use the minus glasses. Most of them are in East Asia such as Japan, China and South Korea.
Even according to these estimates, 10-20 myopi students who experience severe and can be categorized at risk of permanent blindness.
In an article in the journal Lancet, Professor Ian Morgan of the Australian National University said that one of the main causes is the education factor. Hardworking culture among the Asian community to make his students tend to learn too diligent.
"The increase in cases myopi in Asia may be related to an increase in the intensity of education. Moreover, in recent years, East Asia has always dominated the international rankings in terms of learning achievement," writes Prof. Morgan, as quoted from Dailymail, Friday (05/04/2012).
While studying, students tend to read in a conscious tanmpa distance is too close to his position better. In fact, if done continuously, then the lens will fall so easily affected myopi or difficulty seeing objects at a distance.
In addition, the lack of outdoor activities are also believed to affect the high levels of nearsightedness or myopi among Asian students. As I've reported previously detikHealth, rare sun can make the eye susceptible to damage.
Studies in animals show that exposure to sunlight is sufficient to maintain eye health as it can increase dopamine in the retina. These compounds can be believed to reduce the risk myopi as has been demonstrated in primates.
