Have you seen the latest Myopia Prevention Advertisement by Health Promotion Board? I am pleasantly surprised when I saw it two days ago. There is bigger emphasis on two points, do not play computer games excessively, when it shows a boy playing handheld games, and also the constant suggestion to go outdoors.
For those whom have being reading our blog, you would have being aware that we have being emphasizing much on bring your children outdoors too. However, with those whom has being in contact with us, you would also know that we are very much against computer games, especially handheld games.
Many eyecare providers noticed that children's myopic degree increases by as much as 150 degrees (-1.5D) within 3 months of intensive gaming. Its smallness in screen, and intense visual strain activity is very unhealthy to the eye.
We often advise our EyeRelax users to moderate or even eliminate handheld or computer games, if they wish to see good improvement to their eyesight. Alas, its not easy to stop a game addict. In fact, a social counseller whom was conducting a study on game addicts, tried playing to understand the feel, and herself got addicted. She told quite a while and lots of determination to relieve herself of the addiction.
So before you dig into your pocket to pay for the harmless looking handheld games or computer game software, do think carefully.
