In recent years, a large number of young people in China have suffered from myopia. According to the research report of the World Health Organization, the number of myopia patients in China is up to 600 million, almost half of the total population. The myopia rate of high school students and college students in China has exceeded 70%, and has increased year by year. The myopia rate of teenagers ranks first in the world, and the myopia rate of primary school students is also close to 40%. Therefore, on August 30, 2018, the Implementation Plan for Comprehensive Prevention and Control of Myopia in Children and Adolescents formulated by the Ministry of Education, the National Health and Health Commission and other eight departments was released. For example, ensure that primary school students sleep 10 hours a day, forbid students to bring electronic products such as mobile phones into the classroom, control the number of new online games online operations, etc. The plan lists a series of hard measures for children and teenagers to "protect their eyes". The plan requires that a good family sports atmosphere should be created, and children should be actively guided to carry out outdoor activities or physical exercises, so that they can be exposed to outdoor natural light for more than 60 minutes every day at home.
Why is it mandatory for teenagers to "spend more than 60 minutes in outdoor natural light every day"? This is because the current indoor lighting products in China can not meet the requirements of preventing myopia among teenagers. Compared with outdoor natural light, there is a huge gap between various standards in the lighting industry and many current lighting technologies. Among them, brightness is one of the differences.
Academician Gu Ying of the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army of China believes that all things grow by the sun. The sun is the healthiest light for human beings. Light has energy. Each kind of light has its unique role. If the light intensity is too weak, the light energy transmitted is not enough, and the light energy absorbed by the human body is not enough, then the body will have problems. Of course, too strong light intensity, such as infrared light and ultraviolet light, whose light energy exceeds the human body's bearing capacity, will also cause harm to the human body.
Professor Ge Jian, a 973 scientist in China and former president of Zhongshan Eye Hospital, said that insufficient light intensity was an important factor causing myopia in teenagers. In the current youth activity places, especially in the classroom, the phenomenon of insufficient brightness and uneven brightness is very prominent, especially compared with the outdoor natural light, the indoor lighting brightness still has a large difference.
Brightness affects human health, so how to determine the brightness that matches human health? The first aspect is to study the range of the most comfortable light intensity of human eyes, and the second aspect is to study the tolerance range of human light energy. Through the research data of the two, and the 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 from "bathing in sunlight indoors". Guangdong Kaixi Ouguang Health Co., Ltd. has set an example in this regard. Based on the core theory of "sunlight is the healthiest light", and through the three core technologies of "light code, light formula and light control", the RSD light formula technology has been innovatively developed, which makes up for the missing part of the above artificial light sources compared with sunlight, and comprehensively realizes the breakthrough in the simulation of sunlight technology, so that indoor lighting is consistent with outdoor natural light, which brings great benefits to the prevention of juvenile myopia and the protection of people's health.
As early as 2019, the Ophthalmology Center of Sun Yat-sen University, the Second People's Hospital of Foshan City, and Guangdong Kaixi Ouguang Health Co., Ltd. jointly carried out the "Study on the Effectiveness of Artificial Simulated Natural Light Source in Delaying the Progress of Myopia in School-age Children", which was successfully shortlisted in the application guide of the Guangdong Basic and Applied Basic Research Fund Foshan Joint Fund (Guangdong Foshan Joint Fund). After more than two years of tracking research on more than 2000 children and teenagers, and comparing the use of light health light sources with other well-known brands of light sources, in 2022, the project officially announced the results: the use of light health lamps simulating natural light sources can reduce the one-year myopia rate of children and teenagers by 5%!
Therefore, "bathing in the sun indoors" and achieving the consistency between indoor lighting and outdoor natural light is the inevitable direction of the development of light health industry.
