Myopia

Its little wonder why myopia is on the rise rapidly among kids in Singapore.

Consider this.

With the increasing use of IT in the schools, and independent online learning and what-not, of course we have to spend a considerable amount of time on the computer. What more if you are facilitating an online discussion with your peers, and furthermore, are being graded on that? Rings a bell? Needless to say, your eyesight will deteriorate. Yeah, of course to minimise that, we have measures in place like educating the young on the importance of resting their eyes every 30-45 mins spent on the computer. I mean, do you even have the time to take a break? Most of us have to be pried away from the computer, to say the least. Life is too fast-paced for us to take a rest. However, I think its good they are starting young nowadays, at least when they grow older, the habits would be already inculcated(hopefully).
