It is better to believe in myths that developed in the community that babies who are exposed to the morning sun to grow healthy. Recent research even suggests that it is beneficial to the development of baby's visual sense.

Researchers from the University of Cambridge to continue the study and found that the risk of nearsightedness can be reduced by 2 percent every additional hour spent on children to play outside every week.

Children who have a myopic on average only have time to play outside for 3.7 hours each week. Therefore, children should have more time to play outdoors and exposed to sunlight.

Besides being able to enhance the development of the sense of sight and prevent nearsightedness, it is also good to meet the needs of natural vitamin D is important for growth.

When the child has been able to play alone, let him play outside the house so that exposure to the sun, see a wide variety of colors, and objects far away. It can strengthen the sense of sight and keep young children from the possibility to use the glass eye in the future.
