In general, I believe everyone should have heard that improper sitting posture causes stiff bones and lower back pain, but affects vision? This is probably NEW!
It’s actually simple to understand. When you are not sitting properly, you arch your back and lean forward, your eyes will be too close to the objects that you are looking at, causing vision fatigue, and myopia (shortsightedness) will gradually form over time.
If you do have children at home, when your children are doing their homework, pay more attention to their sitting posture. Don’t let the situation happen where you kids start to wear thick glasses just because you don’t keep an eye on their sitting posture.
As an adult, when you read a book or work with a computer, you should also pay attention to sitting posture. Don’t use the excuse of tiredness, lie on the table to work, lean on the sofa to read books and work, lie on the bed and play with mobile phones, etc. You may feel comfortable doing all these, but these will definitely cause some damage to the eyes, spine too.
