The Situation of Myopia in Taiwan V.2

Nearsightedness is inconvenient to many people in Taiwan . We can find out that
there are some reasons contributed to the problem. Since the situation of myopia is
quite severe, we should put our attention on the issue and understanding the causes of
the health problem.
As time goes by, most of us has the problem of nearsightedness and rely on
glasses. We can also find out that the percentage of out friends who seek for the help
of glasses is getting higher and higher. According to Dr. Chien-Jen Chen, the prevalence of myopia was found to increase with age. The prevalence of myopia of right eyes at age 6-7 was 12%, 54% at age 11-12, 75% at age 14-15, and 85% at age 17-18. Also for instance, we can hardly know someone who isn’t nearsighted in college right now. It is indeed a headache to most of us (Chen,1996).
The situation of myopia is getting worse due to the following reasons. First, Taiwanese students study hard. They spend a long time highly concentrating on relatively small words printed on course book with not enough light source. As they grow up, there are more materials to study and as a consequence their eyes get weaker. Dr. Cheng-Yu Chen explains the relationship among the learning stress, habitual use of eyes and myopia: If students felt the compulsive learning stress much higher, their eyes will become myopia (Chen, 2003).
During leisure time, Taiwanese students often choose playing computer games, watching TV, surfing the net instead of exercising, sightseeing as their extracurricular activities. The choice they make relaxes only their exhausted souls but not eyes. According to Dr. Wing-Fung Cheng, the children''s recreation amusement couldn’t do without the electronic products for gaming,webbing and passing massage, and the people using electronic products for above 7 hours in a week have higher myopia progression (Cheng, 2006).
The third reason is that a large part of Taiwanese people lack the knowledge of eye protection. They do not understand how important it is to protect this organ, and thus their eyes lack exercising and relaxing during a long period of time.
The situation of myopia in Taiwan is severe and getting worse. We should be aware of the problem and take care of our own eyes. Do not overuse them and give them some relaxation often. It is a crucial issue to any of us.

I can't sleep well recently. I think it's due to the weather changes. Summer is coming but the air conditioners are not set yet in our dorm. Talking about dormitory, we’re going to move to another building. I'm glad that we won't need to climb stairs anymore. But the bad side is that the room in that building is much smaller, I am afraid that my roommate will hit me in the sleeping much often than now. To tell the dormitory, I had heard that the boys in our class have a lot of problem in decide their roommate, and a few people haven't find the fit roommate now. It is so sad that the thing happened. Our classmates are all very kind. I hope this event will not heart anybody's feeling and this will go to a happy ending although it seems impossible. As for girls, I think we are much better than boys. We can handle this matter much easier than boys. Of course, there are lots of reasons such as girls can talk to each other peacefully, and without any argument, or some girls are not brave to enough to say out that they want to change the roommates. Those are the reasons why girls have not as many problems as boys. Why do boys change their roommates so much? I've heard from schoolmates say that they change roommates every semester, but without arguing. Maybe all of us should learn that art of negotiation, so that we won't have so much argument.
