Of course, teenagers still spend most of their time in the classroom. In addition to being more exposed to sunlight, they should also work hard to improve the indoor lighting environment.
Entering 2024, it is getting closer and closer to the 2023 target in the "Implementation Plan for Comprehensive Prevention and Control of Myopia in Children and Adolescents" jointly issued by eight departments in August 2018. The plan clearly stipulates that the implementation plan will reduce the myopia rate by at least 0.5 percentage points every year by 2023 based on 2018. For younger children, the myopia rate should be controlled at about 3%, while the myopia rate among primary school students should be based on 2018. A drop of 38%, a drop of at least 60% for junior high schools, and a 70% drop for high schools.
In order to better achieve the goal of preventing and controlling myopia in children and adolescents,The Chinese Ministry of Education has issued a series of management documents to reduce students' unnecessary academic burden and cultivate students' healthy lifestyle.Factors such as students' excessive academic load, excessive eye use, and unhealthy eye use have a great impact on students' vision. Now, it is necessary to reduce unnecessary academic burden, and at the same time let children have more contact with nature and sunlight, and establish a more effective Various conditions and facilities that can effectively improve the visual health of students, so as to better enable the prevention and control of myopia among young people to achieve continuous results.
Judging from our visits to many primary and secondary schools and inspection of school classroom light environments, many schools still use fluorescent tubes as the main light source for classroom lighting. Even if LED light sources are used to replace traditional fluorescent tube light sources, the LED lighting used is also Just the first generation of LED light sources. After measuring the classroom lighting sources using the latest spectroscopic instruments on site, we found that the lighting in these classrooms generally has the following problems:
1. The light brightness is not enough, resulting in a dim light environment in the entire classroom, and the lights on the desktop are blurred when students are reading and writing homework;
2. The color rendering index of the light source is low, the color rendering index Ra is only about 70, and the color distortion of desktop books is serious;
3. Some lamps have stroboscopic and glare phenomena, causing the light to be dazzling;
4. The excessive pursuit of white light leads to the color temperature of the lamps. On the high side, the overall light environment feels pale;
5. The light spectrum is not full and smooth, and the blue light is high and the red light is low, which is more harmful to students' vision.
Of course, teenagers still spend most of their time in the classroom. In addition to being more exposed to sunlight, they should also work hard to improve the indoor lighting environment. In order to allow children and adolescents to enjoy high-quality educational lighting, it is necessary to conduct in-depth research and discussion on the quantitative relationship between lighting and reducing the myopia rate of children and adolescents. Among them,Guangdong Cosio Lighting Co., Ltd. has set an example in this regard. With the core theory of "sunlight is the healthiest light" and through the three core technologies of "the light code,the light formula, and the light control", RSD light formula technology has been innovatively developed to make up for the above-mentioned lack of artificial light sources compared to sunlight. As early as 2019, Guangdong Cosio Lighting Co., Ltd.together with Sun Yat-sen University Eye Center and Foshan Second People's Hospital, jointly conducted a "Research on the Effectiveness of Artificial Simulation of Natural Light Sources in Delaying the Progression of Myopia in School-age Children" (application code: FS0601) , this project was successfully shortlisted for the Guangdong Basic and Applied Basic Research Fund Foshan Joint Fund (Guangdong-Foshan Joint Fund) Project Application Guide. After more than two years of tracking research on more than 2,000 children and adolescent students, and comparing the use of light healthy light sources with other well-known brand light sources, in 2022, the project officially announced the results: using light health lamps that simulate natural light sources, children can The one-year myopia rate among teenagers is reduced by 5%!
This is an epoch-making scientific research result! It is also an outstanding achievement that can benefit society, the country, and the people! At a time when our country is facing a severe situation of preventing and controlling myopia in children and adolescents, this scientific research result from the Sun Yat-sen University Ophthalmology Center and Foshan Second People's Hospital will strongly support our country.The realization and achievement of the goals set out in the "Implementation Plan for Comprehensive Prevention and Control of Myopia in Children and Adolescents".
Healthy lighting is an emerging industry that integrates multiple disciplines. Chinese scientists are also constantly in-depth and innovative in their research on healthy lighting. In the process of studying the comprehensive prevention and control of myopia in children and adolescents, we found that the health of children and adolescents actually includes three major elements: a healthy environment, a healthy body, and a healthy mind.
Healthy environment refers to whether the space environment in which children and adolescents live is healthy? The space environment is mainly sunlight, air, water and soil. Nature provides these health elements, but human activities have destroyed the purity of nature. The work of our scientists is to use technology to simulate and apply these environmental health elements to various spaces.
Healthy body refers to whether children and adolescents are healthy. Eyes that are not nearsighted is an important sign of good health. In addition, the ears should be able to hear clearly, the nose should be smooth, the nose should be clear, the pronunciation should be clear, the teeth should be neat and strong, the limbs should be intact and flexible, and the internal organs should be functioning normally. Scientists need to use scientific and technological means to ensure that the body healthy.
A healthy spirit means that children and adolescents have a positive, lively and sunny mentality, have a correct outlook on life, world view and values, and can consciously resist the erosion of bad thoughts, negative emotions, pessimism, disappointment and bad emotions. These require effective guidance from psychology and the assistance of a healthy environment.
Based on the above theoretical innovation and scientific research, combined with the scientific research results that light health lamps can reduce the myopia rate of children and adolescents by 5% in one year, Guangdong Cosio Lighting Co., Ltd. further explores the value of light health. Cosio Lighting believes that based on the requirements of a healthy environment, healthy body, and healthy spirit, in addition to providing healthy light sources with a full nutritional spectrum, efforts should also be made to create a complete healthy space. As a result, light negative oxygen ions (LNOI) technology came into being to further meet the needs of children and adolescents for healthy growth and solve the major problem of building a healthy campus. Light negative oxygen ions (LNOI) technology meets the requirements of a healthy environment by providing air purification, sterilization and disinfection functions and meets the needs of a healthy body by providing healthy light functions. It can be said that as the latest scientific research achievement in the field of light health, light negative oxygen ions (LNOI) technology can not only promote the realization of the goal of preventing and controlling myopia in children and adolescents, but also further promote the construction of healthy campuses. It is a major scientific and technological innovation that benefits the country and the people.
