有网友说:我不是在电脑旁边看手机,就是拿着手机在看电脑。因为便携式设备和无线网络的普及,人们似乎越来越离不开这些屏幕了。于是,长时间盯着各类屏幕成为家常便饭,随之而来的近视现象也就不可避免了。
Screen sightedness refers to myopia caused by too much time spent indoors staring at small screens.
Screen sightedness指长时间待在室内盯着小屏幕看而导致的近视,即“屏幕近视”。
British researchers coined the problem “screen sighted,” referring to a 35 percent increase in nearsightedness since the launch of smartphones in 1997. They believe smartphones are a cause, and warn that the problem will only get worse.(Source: Word Spy)
