Discussion keeps the world turning.
This is round table.
You're listening to round table.
I'm Fei Fei together with Shin You and Yu Shan.
Coming up, what if childhood myopia isn't just about children's eyes,
but about how we've designed their days.
For millions of children in China, long hours at school
growing screen time and too little time outdoors are putting young eyes under pressure.
So, the answer may not simply be put down your phone.
It could mean longer breaks, more outdoor time, better classrooms, and earlier screening.
On World Sight Day, we ask, can changing children's routines today protect their vision tomorrow?
And now, When a child becomes short-sighted, the usual advice sounds very familiar.
Sit up straight, hold your book far away, spend less time on your phone, and What else?
What do you if we're looking at the problem from the wrong angle?
For millions of children in China, myopia is becoming part of growing up.
And also, I think that's the case for many of us who've already been categorized as a grown-up.
And the causes may have as much to do with how children live and learn
as with what they do with their eyes
from long school days to screen time to a lack of outdoor activity.
So tackling myopia may require more than telling children to change their habits.
