Chinese eye specialists raise concern over youth eye health

Chinese eye specialists at the Dr. N.D. Abdulla Abdul Hakeem Ophthalmology Center in the Maldives have raised concern about the declining youth eye health in Maldives. With a surge in myopia cases among young Maldivians, immediate action is required to protect their vision.

The excessive use of screens has negatively impacted the eye health of the youth population. The specialists advise following the "20-20-20" rule, which involves taking a 20-second break every 20 minutes to focus on an object at least 20 feet away. This simple practice helps reduce eye strain and lowers the risk of myopia.
