Indian army and police requirements eligibility 50 percent indian will be unfit aiims delhi report

New Delhi. A shocking revelation has come out in the report of Delhi AIIMS, the country’s largest hospital. After the Corona period, there is a doubling of increase in the cases of myopia in children. Delhi AIIMS has found in one of its studies that after the Corona period, children’s eyes are getting weak due to the addiction of playing games on online classes, smart phones and computers. According to AIIMS, when the study was conducted before the corona epidemic, myopia was found in 5 to 7 percent of children in the urban population, but in the study conducted after the corona period, this number increased to 11 to 15 percent.

According to Professor Jeevan S Titiyal, head of AIIMS Delhi’s Rajendra Prasad Eye Hospital, “If the addiction and dependence of digital screens in children remains the same, then by the year 2050, 50 percent of the children in the country will suffer from myopia ie nearsightedness.” In such a situation, half of the country’s population will be disqualified from joining the army and police because of poor eyesight.’

what do doctors say
According to Dr. Titiyal, ‘To keep children’s eyes safe, there is a need to strictly follow the training and guidelines in schools. For this, it is necessary for children to get an hour’s break from schools and digital screens should not be used for more than two hours a day. Make sure to wear spectacles in case of poor eyesight. If this is not done, the eyesight becomes more weak. Along with this, children must get their eyes checked once a year.

How to avoid myopia
Let us tell you that almost all age-related problems come to the fore at one stage or the other, but these problems are coming to the fore in recent years. If these eye problems are according to age, then it is okay, but sometimes problems have to be faced at a very young age. In the recent past, cases of eye problems have increased rapidly in children. If we look around us, we will see many such children whose age is very young but they have a lot of difficulty in seeing without glasses.
