Many children have contracted myopia at a young age due to the increase in near-work activities (e.g. reading, writing, using iPad) and sometimes due to hereditary reasons. Although an incurable disease, healthy living habits and the right spectacles can effectively slow the growth of myopia!
In 2015, the World Health Organisation reported that children who spend more than two hours of outdoor activities a day have a significant reduction in risk of developing myopia and slowing down of myopia progression amongst prescription wearers.
Even on cloudy days, ultraviolet (UV) rays are still around us all the time. They can cause various eye diseases, such as cataracts and keratitis (cornea burns). Unfortunately, children are most susceptible to contracting these eye diseases from UV rays because their eyes are more sensitive than adults. The transparency of the cornea and lens of children is higher than that of adults, which means that UV rays penetrate more and cause more damage to their retina.
Prevention is better than cure! While children who are already suffering from myopia need to spend outdoor time to slow the growth of myopia, the prolonged exposure to UV rays from outdoors may cause various other eye diseases. Hence, adequate eye protection is essential for children to keep their eyes safe while gaining the benefits of being outdoors.
