The Situation of Myopia in Taiwan V.1

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 do our best to protect these windows of souls.
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. For instance, we can hardly know someone who isn’t nearsighted in college right now. It is indeed a headache to most of us.
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. Secondly, during leisure time, they 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. Last, 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.
