The Rise of Nearsightedness

Nearsightedness is a growing concern, with approximately 43% of Americans affected and projections suggesting that by 2050, this figure could reach 50% globally. The prevalence of nearsightedness can be attributed to an increase in screen time and reduced outdoor activity, which limits exposure to natural light. Engaging in outdoor activity for just 20 minutes can significantly help to reduce the risk of developing nearsightedness due to the ultraviolet light exposure that plays a role in eye health. This alarming trend highlights the need for preventive measures to maintain visual health in both children and adults.
