In recent years, a large number of myopia has occurred among Chinese teenagers.According to a World Health Organization research report, there are currently as many as 600 million myopia patients in China, which is almost half of the total population.The myopia rate among high school students and college students has exceeded 70% in China , and is increasing year by year.
The myopia rate among teenagers ranks first in the world, and the myopia rate among primary school students is close to 40%. China's Myopia Implementation Plan has announced proposals, such as ensuring that primary school students sleep 10 hours a day, strictly prohibiting students from bringing mobile phones and other electronic products into class, and controlling the number of new online games operating online. The plan lists a series of "eye protection" for children and teenagers. "Tough measures. The plan requires that a good family sports atmosphere should be created, and children should be actively guided to engage in outdoor activities or physical exercises so that they can be exposed to outdoor natural light for more than 60 minutes a day at home.
Why is it mandatory for teenagers to exposure to outdoor natural light for more than 60 minutes per day? This is because the current indoor lighting products in our country cannot meet the requirements for preventing myopia in teenagers. Whether it is the various standards of the lighting industry or the numerous current lighting technologies, there is a huge gap compared with outdoor natural light. Among them, light Brightness is one of the differences.
Academician Gu Ying, a famous Chinese expert, believes that the growth of all things depends on the sun, and sunlight is the healthiest light for human beings., light has energy, and each kind of light has its unique effect. The intensity of light directly affects people's health.
If the brightness of the light is too weak, the light energy transmitted is not enough, and the light energy absorbed by the human body is not enough, it will cause physical problems. Of course, too strong light brightness, such as infrared light and ultraviolet light, whose light energy exceeds the human body's ability to withstand, will also cause harm to the human body.
Professor Ge Jian, former president of China's famous eye hospital, said that insufficient brightness is an important factor causing myopia in teenagers.In current youth activity places, especially classrooms, phenomena such as insufficient light brightness and uneven brightness are very prominent. Especially compared with outdoor natural light, there is a large difference in indoor lighting brightness.
Brightness affects human health, so how to determine the brightness that is consistent with human health? The first aspect is to study the most comfortable range of brightness for human eyes, and the second is to study the range of light energy the human body can tolerate. Through the research data of these two and corresponding analysis, we can determine the brightness that is consistent with human health.
For the lighting industry, the research on brightness is still in its infancy, and there is still a long way to go before “bathing in the sun indoors”. Guangdong Cosio Lighting Co., Ltd. has set an example in this regard. With the core theory of sunlight is the healthiest light and through the three core technologies of "the light code, the light formula, and the light control", RSD light formula technology has been innovatively developed to make up for the above-mentioned lack of artificial light sources compared to sunlight. In this part, it has fully achieved a breakthrough in simulated sunlight technology, making indoor lighting consistent with outdoor natural light, which will bring huge benefits to preventing myopia in teenagers and protecting people's health.
As early as 2019, Sun Yat-sen University Ophthalmology Center, Foshan Second People's Hospital, and Guangdong Cosio Lighting Co., Ltd. jointly conducted a "Research on the Effectiveness of Artificial Simulation of Natural Light Sources in Delaying the Progression of Myopia in School-age Children" (application code: FS0601). This project was successfully shortlisted for the Guangdong Provincial Fundamental and Applied Basic Research Fund Foshan Joint Fund (Guangdong-Foshan Joint Fund) Project Application Guide. After more than two years of tracking research on more than 2,000 children and adolescent students, and comparing the use of light healthy light sources with other well-known brand light sources, in 2022, the project officially announced the results: using light healthy lamps that simulate natural light sources, children can The one-year myopia rate among teenagers is reduced by 5%!
Therefore, "bathing in the sun indoors" and making indoor lighting consistent with outdoor natural light is the inevitable direction for the development of the light health industry.
