<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->I REFER to Monday's article, 'Poor eyesight affecting students' schoolwork'. I am shocked to learn that more than a quarter of students in Northlight School cannot see clearly. While the article provided several reasons for the high incidence of myopia in that school, I suggest the level of illumination in classrooms nationwide be given a thorough study.
Many schools use PowerPoint as a teaching aid. In order to project a sufficiently clear image, the lights in the classroom are usually dimmed. In some cases, all the lights in the classroom are turned off. If students have to take notes, they would be writing in the dark. Needless to say, reading and writing in a dimly lit environment are bad for the eyes.
Projectors used in schools should have sufficient lumen so not too many lights in the classroom need to be turned off when they are in use. Peck Thian Guan
