This is my first post of the year. Hope all is well with you and your family. I came across an article online about the eyesight of children all over the world and would like to share it here. Research shows eyesight of children in the world is deteriorating. According to BBC in U.K, the research team in China revealed the rate of near-sighted eyes of children across the world reached 36 percent. This symptom has appeared since the pandemic due to Covid-19. The team pointed out the cause is that the time kids spent indoor and watched displays has increased due to the protocol by the government. They also suspects that it's highly likely that girls have a higher rate of near-sighted eyes than boys because they have less time to play outside. On top of that, they warned the half of children in the world might have near-sighted eyes until 2050. Their research shows 83% of children in Japan, 73% of one in Korea suffers from near-sighted eyes. On the other hand, in the case of U.K and U.S, it is only 15%. The reason why children in East South Asia region has high rate of near-sighted eyes is because education is one of the causes. In Singapore and Hong Kong, education starts when children turn 2 and it is said this takes a toll on them. On the other hand, children in Africa have 7 times lower near-sighted eyes because their education starts when they turn over 6. I have near-sighted eyes too. I'm as blind as a bat with out contact lenses and glasses when I do something. So, these are must-have item for me. So, I really hope kids nowadays try to protect themselves from near-sighted eyes as soon as possible by decreasing time to watch displays and use smartphones.

This is my first post of the year. I hope all is well with you and your family. Recently, I came across an article about children's eyesight worldwide, and I wanted to share it here. Research shows that children's eyesight is deteriorating globally. According to the BBC in the U.K., a research team in China revealed that the global rate of nearsightedness in children has reached 36%. This issue has been linked to the Covid-19 pandemic, as government protocols increased the time children spent indoors using screens. The researchers also suspect that girls may be at a higher risk of developing nearsightedness than boys, as they tend to spend less time playing outdoors. They further warned that by 2050, half of the world’s children could be affected by nearsightedness. The study highlighted that 83% of children in Japan and 73% in Korea are nearsighted, compared to only 15% in the U.K. and U.S. One major factor contributing to the high rates in East and Southeast Asia is education. In countries like Singapore and Hong Kong, formal education often begins as early as age two, which places additional strain on young eyes. In contrast, children in Africa experience far lower rates of nearsightedness—seven times lower—because formal schooling typically starts after age six. I am nearsighted myself. Without contact lenses or glasses, I’m as blind as a bat, so these are essential items for me. I really hope children today can protect their eyesight by reducing screen time and being mindful of their habits with devices like smartphones.

Focus on: 1. Conciseness: Avoid repetition and streamline ideas. 2. Natural flow: Use transitions and idiomatic expressions where appropriate. 3. Grammar accuracy: Ensure subject-verb agreement and article usage.

Additionally, the world might experience an increase in near-sighted people until 2050. The team’s research showed 83% of children in Japan and 73% of Korea suffer from being near-sighted. However, in the case of U.K and U.S, it is only 15%. The reason why children in East South Asia region may have higher rates of near-sightedness is because of hours spent in education. In Singapore and Hong Kong, education starts when children turn 2 and it is said this takes a toll on them. Whereas children in Africa have 7 times less cases of near-sightedness because they begin education at the age of 6….
