Being enslaved by electronic devices is ruining kids' eyesight

THE LATEST DATA show that 58.6 percent of all primary and secondary school pupils in Beijing have poor eyesight and have to wear glasses. Gmw.cn comments:

In secondary schools, primary schools, even kindergartens, it is already common to see children wearing glasses. Data from medical institutions even show that one-third of all residents older than 5 in China are nearsighted, while 90 percent of all college students are nearsighted.

Many believe that myopia is not a problem. However, those wearing glasses cannot live a normal life without them. Worse, as people age, nearsightedness might cause multiple eye problems.
