Regarding this question, is it TRUE or NOT? Let’s find out today!
Human eyeballs will continue growing until we are about 20 years old, so when it’s in the growth and development period, short-sightedness is more likely to increase further. In comparison, the eyes of adults are well-developed, and the length of the eye axis is fixed, so it is much more stable in terms of vision capability.
Just sharing a little knowledge … Did you know that with just an increase of 1 millimeter on the eye axis length, short-sightedness increases by 300 degrees. Yes, no joke!
Basically, with a good eye care habit, it is normal for children to increase by 50-75 degrees in one or two years, and for adults (teenagers to about 24 years old) to increase by 25-50 degrees in two or three years.
However, many adults find that their eyesight is getting worse when they go for an eye examination. Yes, when you are an adult, vision tends to be more stable, but it does not mean that short-sightedness will not get worse.
So, who is the culprit?
You may be thinking, What else? Must be Internet and Electronic Smart Devices!
Yes, no doubt, in today’s working life, we need to face the computer for a long time every single day, and we can’t leave our mobile phones and tablets after work. Having said that, the eyes are easily fatigued, which causes short-sightedness to worsen, but the Internet and electronic smart devices cannot be completely blamed.
We need to have a good eye habit. Look at near objects less, look at faraway objects more, and relax your eyes. Again, remember to follow the “20-20-20” rule. Every 20 minutes, look at an object at least 20 feet away for 20 seconds
Here’s the summary, do note that short-sightedness can increase even when you are an adult . Therefore, remember to care for your eyes at all times and maintain good habits. Healthy Eyes, Healthy Life!
