Night Time Contact Lenses Stop Children Becoming Short-sighted
近視眼有治啦!讓孩子一夜告別近視
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.
一項研究顯示，夜間佩戴一種特殊的隱形眼鏡，可以重塑兒童的視力，幫助近視兒童恢復視力，從而告別眼鏡。
Trials 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.
這項由全球300名兒童參與的研究表明，鏡片可以有效地預防眼睛畸形，避免孩子近視。
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.
英國阿爾斯特大學4月份發表的數據顯示：近50年來，英國人的近視率翻了一番，因為孩子們很少花充足的時間呆在戶外。
Twenty-three per cent of British 12 and 13-year-olds now suffer from myopia which causes distant objects to appear blurred, while close objects can be seen clearly - compared to 10 per cent in the 1960s.
23%的英國12-13歲孩子患近視，而在上世紀60年代，這個數字僅為10%。
However a new study has found that contact lenses can stop the progression of myopia, a practice known as Orthokeratology.
