Recently, He Wei, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of He's Eye Group, said in an interview with reporters.
The Ministry of Education's big data monitoring shows that in the first half of 2020, about 200 million children and adolescents across the country are taking "online classes" at home, and the myopia rate of students in the first half of 2020 has increased by 11.7% from the end of 2019.
Among them, the myopia rate of primary school students increased by 15.2%, the myopia rate of junior high school students increased by 8.2%, and the myopia rate of high school students increased by 3.8%.
Groups of severe data once again sounded the alarm for the visual health of children and adolescents.
Myopia prevention is a long-term systematic project. It needs to consolidate the strength and wisdom of the government, principals, teachers, students, parents, and medical and health institutions to continuously prevent myopia and push myopia prevention further.
It takes too long to close the eyes, and all prevention and control methods can't play a practical role.
Raising public awareness will play a key role in the prevention of young people's myopia.
