Doctors: Children Under the Age of Nine Should be Kept Away from Using the High-Tech Products

Words of experts, from the Newspapers, translated…

The middle and lower grade level students would have worsened eye sights from not taking care of their eyes or having bad reading habits, the manager of the Taiwanese Ophthalmologist Organization, Weng believed, that before the age of nine, children should be banned from using SmartPhones and other high-tech products, and, there needed to be eighty to ninety minutes of play time outside, this can reduce the risk of myopia greatly.

Weng said, five years ago, there was only ten-percent of the first graders being diagnosed with eye problems, but last year, in the schools of the Hsinbei districts, the number had increased to three times more, he believed, that the influxes of SmartPhones, and iPads, and many children, getting exposed to high-tech products, is the key factor in causing their eyes to go bad.

Weng said, that you would use high-tech products such as iPads and SmartPhones for long periods of time, at a short distance, which causes nearsightedness easily, if parents can teach their young how to use their sights correctly upon entering into the elementary years, from ages seven to nine, then, it would prevent their myopia from worsening later on, he’d suggested that children under age nine should avoid using high-tech products, and, it usage can’t be avoided then, the parents MUST make the children only use it for thirty minutes at a time, and afterwards, the rest of the eyes is a must.

And so, you still didn’t hear it from me, the advances in technologies are causing more and more troubles, including making children nearsighted earlier on, because they’d stared at that small screen, for a very long time, playing Angry Birds, but, there’s NO way we can change that bad habit, as placing our young in front of an iPad or whatever keeps them QUIET, and, the adults needed quiet!
