However, China has 700 million people who have myopia (近视), and the myopia rate (比率) among children is very high. Why do children get myopia? ●If a child spends 7+ hours a week on computers or mobile phones, he may have myopia. ●Fewer outdoor activities increase the risk of getting myopia. ●Parents who have myopia may have a myopia child. ▲ Here are some tips.
