the situation of Myopia in Taiwan

Myopia has a great impact on Taiwan’s teenagers. In Taiwan, Myopia is common among students. It is a refractive defect of the eye in which collimated light produces image focus in front of the retina when accommodation is relaxed. The demand of eye glasses is increasing year by year, so what can we suppose in such bad situation?
We have known that myopia symbolizes the overuse of the eyes in the bad environment of study. No matter you are working on books or video games; under the poor light source and too-near distance, you have the opportunity to get nearsighted! Actually, almost seventy percent of students have Myopia in Taiwan according to the census of the Myopia in school-aged children by government. What does this information tell us about?
The situation of Myopia is serious obviously, and there is a ridiculous phenomenon in Taiwan’s society. If you get nearsighted due to the overuse of the eyes when you work hard on academy, you may not be assailed; instead, you may be said that you are a diligent student and get compliments. But if you read comic books or play computer games that result in the nearsightedness, you may be punishment of course! Parents always think that games and comic books are the only poison that makes teenagers get nearsighted. Because of the point of view above, parents often let their children sit in front of the desk and seldom let them leave the room. It causes the problem! People always neglect the true reason of getting Myopia. We should reduce the situation now!
