近视眼有治啦!让孩子一夜告别近视

Children could be cured of short-sightedness by wearing soft contact lenses at night which re-shape their eyes to prevent them ever needing glasses, a study has shown.

一项研究显示，夜间佩戴一种特殊的隐形眼镜，可以重塑儿童的视力，帮助近视儿童恢复视力，从而告别眼镜。

Trials² involving more than 300 children in Britain and across the world showed that the lenses can stop the eye becoming misshapen which leads to myopia.

这项由全球300名儿童参与的研究表明，镜片可以有效地预防眼睛畸形，避免孩子近视。

In April, a study published by Ulster University found that the rate of short-sightedness in Britain has doubled over the past 50 years, because children no longer spend enough time outdoors.

英国阿尔斯特大学4月份发表的数据显示：近50年来，英国人的近视率翻了一番，因为孩子们很少花充足的时间呆在户外。

Twenty-three per cent of British 12 and 13-year-olds now suffer from myopia which causes distant objects to appear blurred³, while close objects can be seen clearly - compared to 10 per cent in the 1960s.

23%的英国12-13岁孩子患近视，而在上世纪60年代，这个数字仅为10%。
