The Situation of Myopia (Nearsightedness) in Taiwan
There are so many people having Myopia in Taiwan and the situation does not change at all. That means more and more people get myopia. How bad is the situation? For example, there are twenty students taking this class, and only three of us do not have myopia. Everything has its result. There must be some causes of the situation.
There are two main reasons that a lot of people get myopia in Taiwan. One is that there are so many people live in this small island, and the competitions between us are bitter. The other is our education system. Our government wanted to fight back to main land China so they encouraged people to have a lot of children. However, war did not start, and many babies were born; then, they became adults and had their children. That is why there are so many people these days. People need education. Our education system was not good at firs, and so many people need to go to school, and bad things happened.
From the above, we know the two main reasons cause the serious myopia situation in Taiwan, and I will explain why. For the first reason, people like to live in big cities because there are much more jobs in the big cities than in the countries. In order to let so many people live in the cities; apartments are built higher and higher. The distance between buildings and buildings are closer and closer. People in the city do not have chance to see far away to rest their eyes and that is a good way to prevent myopia. The second reason, students in Taiwan are taught that one must study hard or one will not get a good job. Students must study very hard to live on their parents’ expectation. They spend most of their time studying. After school, they go home study or go to cram school. They do not have time to take a rest. If they have some free time, they often spend their time watching TV or play computer games. Those do not help their eye resting. Those are why so many people have myopia in Taiwan.
To solve the problem, I think our government must build more parks or place that let us exercise and rest our eyes.
