Every hour spent outdoors each week can reduce a child's chance of becoming short-sighted by two per cent. Children who are short-sighted spend an average of 3. 7 fewer hours a week outside compared with those who have normal vision, a study has found.
Short-sightedness runs in families and has also been linked to a host of factors. They include the amount of time spent focusing on near objects and levels Gf physical activity. But simply spending time out of the house may be enough to protect the eyesight. Being outdoors can reduce the amount of time that children spend in reading or playing computer games, researchers said.
Between 15 and 20 per cent of British people are short-sighted, but the problem is much more serious in parts of East Asia. There, as much as 80 per cent of the population is short-sighted. One ?tudy compared children living in different countries. It found that those in Australia had better vision on average than people of the same age in China and Singapore. The Australian group read and achieved as much as those in other countries, but they were found to spend more time outdoors.
Dr Sherwin, one of the researchers who did the study, said the benefit from being outdoors could be linked to increased UV radiation(紫外线辐射）.Short?sightedness is caused by having longer eyes and some studies have shown that some chemicals affected by UV rays may control the length of the eye. A lack of sunlight could make such chemicals grow too much, he explained.
He said, "It could be caused by not enough UV radiation, and it could also be caused by spending less time looking into the distance or not enough physical activity.”
