Children who stay indoors risk Myopia, says Ophthalmologists

Ophthalmologists have revealed that children who spent more time staying indoors were more likely to develop myopia than their peers who played outdoors.

Myopia or Nearsightedness is the most common refractive error of the eye, and it has become more prevalent in recent years.

According to the experts, myopia was very common and could occur in children between the ages of four and 12 years.
