Smart approach to better sight for children
By Cai Wenjun
Shanghai has introduced and promoted intelligent medical equipment for children's eye health and myopia screening.
This allows quick and simple eye testing for some 1.7 million primary and middle school students each year, officials from the Shanghai Eye Disease Prevention and Control Center said.
They were speaking at a health promotion event on eye care and vision protection for minors over the weekend.
Shanghai has established an eye health database for all primary and middle school students, and has made good progress in myopia prevention and control.
