Once a topic “What is it like to have 12,000 degrees of myopia?” was very hot. A 27-year-old male netizen said that the glasses he wore were already 12,000 degrees. This topic has attracted the attention of many people, because myopia is a problem that needs attention no matter which country.
Once a topic “What is it like to have 12,000 degrees of myopia?” was very hot. A 27-year-old male netizen said that the glasses he wore were already 12,000 degrees. This topic has attracted the attention of many people, because myopia is a problem that needs attention no matter which country.
Previous research reports from the World Health Organization show that the number of myopia patients in China is as high as 600 million, and the myopia rate among teenagers ranks first in the world. Once teenagers develop high myopia, the risk of suffering from various eye diseases will also increase, and they may even become blind.
According to data published by some experts, myopia above 600 degrees is considered high myopia. For patients with high myopia, the axial length of the eye increases by approximately 0.37 mm for every 100 degrees of myopia. The longer the axial length of the eye, the greater the pull on the eye muscles and the retina at the fundus of the eye, and the more likely it is that eye muscle coordination abnormalities, backward expansion of the eyeball, thinning of the retina, and atrophy and degeneration will occur, leading to a variety of eye diseases.
There are signs of myopia in children and adolescents. If the following five situations occur, parents must be vigilant: 1. Like to squint to see things. Squinting increases the focus of light to help you see things clearly. Frequently squinting to see things may be a precursor to myopia. 2. Frequent rubbing and blinking of the eyes. Children with myopia are prone to eye fatigue, so they often rub their eyes. 3. Learn to be unable to sit still. When children read and write, they often complain that the light is too dark and their heads are lowered when reading. In this case, you need to consider whether you are nearsighted. 4. Look at things with your head tilted. When you tilt your head, scattered light has less impact on your vision and you can see things more clearly. If you have this kind of performance, it may not be cuteness but shortsightedness. 5. Lift the corners of your eyes diagonally. Some children like to use their hands to pull up the corners of their eyes to see things. This is not making faces, but doing so can reduce light scattering and help them see things clearly.
Children are in the stage of growth and development and should have as much contact with nature as possible. Studies have proven that changes in natural light are good for the eyes. The red light and infrared components in sunlight play a very important role in suppressing myopia and protecting the eyes. Therefore, for children, try to go outdoors as much as possible. Even if it is only 10 minutes between classes, you can go outside to bask in the sun and relax your eyes in natural light. Sunlight is the healthiest light. Children growing and living under the sun are beneficial to their physical and mental health. In addition, fresh natural air also plays a very important role in children's physical and mental health. Whether you are a child or an adult, you will feel the fresh air in the forest, by the waterfall, or at the seaside. That is because the number of negative oxygen ions in these places is much higher than that in cities.
As early as 2019, Sun Yat-sen University Ophthalmology Center, Foshan Second People's Hospital, and Guangdong Cosio Lighting Co., Ltd. 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). After more than two years of tracking research on more than 2,000 children and adolescent students, and comparing the use of healthy light sources with other well-known brand light sources, in 2022, the project officially announced the results: using healthy light lamps that simulate natural light sources can reduce the one-year myopia rate of children and adolescents by 5%! Research by an expert team shows in myopic children aged 8-13, repeated low-intensity red light therapy can effectively control the progression of myopia in children. As a new alternative therapy, red light therapy has good user acceptance and no functional and structural damage was observed.
However, in the lighting lights we use daily, the spectrum of many lights is not perfect, full, and smooth, let alone simulating sunlight. When children lack sunlight and contact with nature, the rate of myopia remains high. As the inventor of light negative oxygen ions (LNOI)technology, Cosio Lighting has cooperated with many kindergartens and parent-child parks in Foshan City, using light negative oxygen ions (LNOI)technology to upgrade children's activity places, providing a healthy lighting and simulated sunlight and forest negative ions indoor environment. The negative ion ecological space can achieve sterilization and disinfection that is harmless to the human body. After more than a year of operation, the overall ecological environment of these children's activity places is significantly better than other places of the same type, and the health status of children is also significantly better.
Why does light negative oxygen ions (LNOI) technology play such a great role in children’s physical and mental health? This is because light negative oxygen ions (LNOI)technology is an advanced technology that innovatively combines light elements and negative ion elements. It has four major functions: healthy lighting, forest oxygen bar, air purification,sterilization and disinfection. It comprehensively simulates the natural ecological environment and is beneficial to the human body health.
Light negative oxygen ions (LNOI) technology uses advanced light formula to reduce the harmful blue light spectrum in the spectrum and enhance the beneficial red light spectrum in the spectrum. The light source CRI is above 95, which can not only prevent myopia, but also improve human immunity.
As a part of the human body, the eyes, like other organs, have a very keen sense of the environment in which the body is located. If the surrounding environment is friendly, healthy and natural, your eyes will also be in a healthier state. Light negative oxygen ions (LNOI) technology can proactively create a healthy and natural ecological space to ensure human eye health.
