Clean Air, Clear Vision: How Pollution Affects Kids' Eyes

New research reveals that air pollution doesn't just harm lungs - it's now linked to worsening eyesight, especially for primary and elementary school-aged children. On the flip side, clean air can help protect children’s eyesight from worsening myopia, or short-sightedness. Thankfully, there are a few options to help support clean air for this key demographic; air purifiers in classrooms and “clean-air zones” around schools could be very beneficial.
