Outdoor play protects children from "epidemic" is dangerous!

Experts said that make kids playing outside is useful for visually impaired people because it reduces the risk of being diagnosed with myopia.
Myopia has become commonplace throughout the world, and by the year 2050, almost 4.8 billion people affected by this disorder, which registered about 2.8 billion people around the world in 2010.
In China, where more than 90% of young people from myopia, the problem is "epidemic".
While many tend to blame the genes in this problem, genetics alone cannot explain the problem rapidly.
There are a large number of research that indicates that playtime outdoors can reduce the risk of infecting the child with myopia.
Not only is the outdoor presence forces you to look farther, but also believed that exposure to external lighting is vital, as it seems that slows down the growth of the eye, excessive growth is contributing to myopia.
One study found that if a child hasn't spent enough time outdoors when he has two parents contracted myopia, the genetic risk increases to about 60%.
In the light of these developments, experts believe now that the environment plays a greater role in myopia genes.
The modern study tracked 1991 twins, who were born between 1994 and 1996 in the United Kingdom, using data from the study of early development in twins.
During the first 16 years of life, experts analyzed the evolution of each child and his behavior and his education through questionnaires and tests, plus a collection of eye tests.
Interestingly, the study identified four major environmental factors associated with myopia, some unexpected.

The study found that children born in the aftermath of the mother received fertility treatment were less likely by 25% to 30% of the development of myopia in the mid-teens.
The expert said: "this could be related partly to the fact that infants born after fertility treatment tend to be in lower birth weight and shorter download and have, according to some studies, but not all, retarded growth and decline in cognitive scores. Diminished cognitive scores seem to diminish nearsightedness.
As the study also found that those born during the summer were more likely to develop nearsightedness, probably because they have started to go to school is smaller than many of their peers.
The study also found that whenever the mother's level of education is higher, the higher the incidence of myopia during adolescence by 33%.
And may have something to do with the link between IQ and myopia, although social factors such as class, wealth may also play a role in it.
And without a doubt, the technology bear the responsibility of myopia, but for a different reason than is belief, as the main reason that makes technology to cause myopia is not detrimental to the eye directly (and is actually harmful), but because it consumes time that could be devoted to entertainment and animation abroad .
Experts say: "to increase the time to watch the screens of electronic equipment resulting from the use of games and social networks and digital entertainment, high stable behavior, poor nutrition and lack of outdoor activity.
But experts contend that these environmental factors are associated only with myopia. And as such, they do not necessarily cause malfunction.
But there's another part of the study might be worse, where the study was conducted on children born in the 1990s, before the age of smartphones and other handheld devices.
At present, with our eyes glued to the screen regardless of where we are, even in the open air, is likely to make the problem much worse.
