Screens are NOT the reason kids need glasses 👀

To be able to see things clearly, your eyeballs need to be a certain shape. Today, though, around half of the world’s kids have eyeballs that are too long - and as a result, they have blurry vision. LEARN MORE ************** To learn more about this topic, start your googling with these keywords: Lens: A transparent biconvex structure in the eye that can change its shape to change the focal distance. Retina: A layer at the back of the eyeball containing cells that are sensitive to light. Fovea: A small depression in the retina where visual acuity is highest. Myopia: A common vision condition in which distant objects are blurry. Hyperopia: A vision condition in which nearer objects are blurry. Emmetropization: The process by which the eye grows in order to maximize visual acuity. Dopamine: A neurotransmitter in the retina that tells the eyeball to stop growing once it has gotten to the ideal length. Near Work Hypothesis: The theory that the modern myopia epidemic was a result of humans spending more time looking at nearby objects.
