How important is educational lighting for adolescent vision?

The lighting environment of primary and secondary school classrooms is closely related to the visual health of children and adolescents. Zhuo Yehong, deputy director and deputy dean of the Zhongshan Eye Center at Sun Yat-sen University, said that myopia in children and adolescents is related to genetic factors and is also affected by environmental factors, and the lighting environment of primary and secondary school classrooms is a very important environmental factor.

In a comparative study, Zhuo divided students into two groups. One group had a 40-minute outdoor activity class every day, and the other group did not. The comparative study found that the group with outdoor activities had about 20 percent less myopia than the other group. He says increasing time spent outdoors can reduce the incidence of myopia. What does outdoor activity bring to students? The core is that the brightness and illumination of indoor light and outdoor light are different.
