This one has it then, if efforts are made to education. That goes into our latitudes associated with reading and writing, editing tables, in knappen Quadratmetern und heute unvermeidbar am Computer. Konsequenz: Schon als Kind verdirbt man sich die Augen. Wenn man dann noch das Freizeitverhalten der Jugendlichen miteinbezieht, dann gibt das ganze ein düsteres Panorama.
Die Myopie (Kurzsichtigkeit) hat in allen Industrienationen stark zugenommen. Aber inzwischen gilt Taiwan als "Insel der Kurzsichtigen". Neun von zehn Taiwanesen werden im Laufe ihres Lebens kurzsichtig. Besonders dramatisch ist, dass schon viele Erstklässler nicht erkennen, was der Lehrer an die Tafel schreibt.
Bisher schob man die Schuld auf lange Unterrichtstage sowie die vielen filigranen chinesischen Schriftzeichen. Doch nach den neuesten Erkenntnissen der Augenärzte sind es die Ferien und nicht die Schulzeit, die die Kinderaugen am meisten schädigen. Neben Fernseher und Computer werden auch die familiären vier Wände als Hauptproblem benannt. Die meisten chinesischen Schüler verbringen nämlich die gesamten Sommerferien in geschlossen Räumen, und genau das verschlimmert alle Arten von schon existierenden Augenproblemen. "Ein 12-jähriger Patient von mir, der sich zu Hause während den ganzen Ferien mit Videospielen beschäftigt hat, erlitt eine 300-prozentige Verschlimmerung seiner Kurzsichtigkeit", erzählt Liao Chang- bin, Direktor einer Augenklinik in Taipeh.
Myopie ist die Hauptursache für Erblindung in Asia
investigations by the Chinese Ministry of Education show how serious the situation is. Myopia is usually a result of a too-long eyeball, which causes optical aberrations are generated. From this defect of the eye, half of primary school children in Taiwan are concerned.
The 12 - to 15-year-olds is as high as two thirds, are affected by myopia. The most disturbing survey shows that 95.8 percent of the students of the elite university in the country carry out a few yards distant objects only blurred.
In general: Anyone who has seen early in life can be bad in the second Half of life have serious problems. While it is possible in most cases, alleviate the visual impairment with eyeglasses and contact lenses or with a laser operation even resolve completely. But under the Taiwan's population is already at three percent of the defect as a non-correctable. Especially alarming: In general, Asia is the progressive myopia, the leading cause total blindness.
In Germany there are no current statistics. Therefore, researchers believe, just that the situation is similar to that in Scandinavian countries. There, about a third of university students is shortsighted, as reported by the University of Tübingen is.
books and education spoil the eyes
Scientists know it for a long time: members of primitive peoples are rarely sighted. And in the industrialized nations take the problem rather than academics workers. In this regard, the simple formula: better blue than white collar man! The more books and education, the worse the eyes.

And now come - at least in Taiwan - in the holiday as an important factor added. But if we honestly Western parents the Feiengewohnheiten our children examine and that we must change not possibly something urgently?
What do the Taiwanese and all others that their vision does not want to lose early, should, so that is not the Globe of short-sighted "is, is actually quite simple: there and back on targets more than six meters away look. Well, the one whose living rooms do not have these dimensions, which still remains the alternative of a visit to the outside world by road, field, forest and meadow. And then maybe even surf the internet computer games, watch TV or take a break. The best so after 30 minutes and then for at least five to ten minutes.
