Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book sheds light on the connection between deteriorating eyesight and the strain of educational pursuits, particularly in children. The author traces the historical development of our understanding of vision, from ancient observations of hyperopia to the recognition of myopia as a direct result of civilization and its emphasis on close work. The author argues that progressive myopia is often associated with organic disease, and that the long hours of close work and poor lighting conditions common in schools can lead to both the development and worsening of myopia. The book emphasizes the importance of good lighting, properly sized desks, and breaks from intensive visual tasks to prevent eye strain and other vision problems. The author concludes by highlighting the need for a balanced approach to education that recognizes the importance of both physical and mental development, and stresses the value of physical exercise in counteracting the negative effects of excessive close work on eyesight.
