☆ Laser eye surgery fixed my vision and health anxiety. I was convinced I had a deadly disease when vision in my right eye declined.
  + stars: | 2024-02-06 | by ( Adam England | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
As my vision declined in my right eye, I began to struggle with lights at night, something I was convinced was a sign of a deadly disease — or my impending blindness. I began to consider laser eye surgery as a solutionFor the first time in my life, I began to seriously think about getting laser eye surgery. Despite coming across a few horror stories related to laser eye surgery of botched procedures and rare side effects, I decided to take the plunge. Being nearsighted is a risk factor for floaters, so I've had them for a long time, and unfortunately, laser eye surgery doesn't remove them. Laser eye surgery might not be for everyone.

Children under eight would be able to use their phones for only 40 minutes a day, while those between eight and 16 would get an hour of screen time. “On the other hand, it’s easier for us parents to control our kids screen time,” she said. China has one of the world’s largest internet user bases, with roughly 1.07 billion people in the country of 1.4 billion having access to the web, according to the China Internet Network Information Center. The regulation could be useful to “help parents to supervise the children” and limit screen time. Impact on tech firmsThe new measures could present challenges for tech companies, which are typically held responsible for enforcing regulations.

☆ The Best and Worst Habits for Eyesight
  + stars: | 2023-05-15 | by ( Hannah Seo | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
But many eye conditions are treatable or preventable, said Dr. Joshua Ehrlich, an assistant professor of ophthalmology and visual sciences at the University of Michigan. Here are nine common beliefs people have about eye health, and what experts have to say about them. Reading a book or looking at an electronic device up close is bad for your eyes. When we do, especially as children, it encourages the eyeball to lengthen, which over time can cause nearsightedness, or myopia. To help reduce the strain on your eyes, Dr. Zhu recommends following the 20-20-20 rule: After every 20 minutes of close reading, look at something at least 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.

☆ Eye Drops May Stave Off Nearsightedness in Children
  + stars: | 2023-02-14 | by ( Sarah Toy | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Myopia tends to progress most quickly in very young children and tapers off after puberty. Drops commonly used to dilate pupils before eye exams could stave off nearsightedness in children, researchers said. Using low-concentration atropine eye drops in children could delay the onset of myopia, or nearsightedness, according to research published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Severe myopia puts people at greater risk of sight-threatening issues, such as retinal detachment, glaucoma and cataracts, eye doctors say. About one-third of the U.S. population is myopic, and eye researchers expect the number will increase to almost 60% by 2050, as people spend more time on their phones and indoors on their computers.
