Uphando lwakutshanje lubonisa ukuba impilo yamehlo yabantwana kunye nokubona kwabo kudla ngokungananzwa ngabazali. Olu phando, oluneempendulo ezithathwe ngabazali abayi-1019, lubonisa ukuba umzali omnye kwabathandathu akakaze abazise abantwana bakhe kugqirha wamehlo, ngelixa uninzi lwabazali (81.1 ekhulwini) bezise umntwana wabo kugqirha wamazinyo kunyaka ophelileyo. Imeko eqhelekileyo yokubona ekufuneka uyiqwalasele yi-myopia, ngokutsho kwenkampani, kwaye kukho iindlela ezininzi zonyango ezinokucothisa inkqubela phambili ye-myopia ebantwaneni, kulutsha nakubantu abadala abancinci.
Ngokophando, ama-80 ekhulwini azo zonke izinto zokufunda zenzeka ngokubona. Sekunjalo, iziphumo zolu phando lutsha zibonisa ukuba abantwana abaqikelelwa kwi-12,000 kulo lonke iphondo (3.1 ekhulwini) baye bahlangabezana nokwehla kokusebenza esikolweni ngaphambi kokuba abazali baqaphele ukuba kukho ingxaki yokubona.
Abantwana abayi kukhalaza ukuba amehlo abo akahambelani kakuhle okanye ukuba banengxaki yokubona ibhodi esikolweni. Ezinye zezi meko ziyanyangeka ngemithambo okanye iilensi zamehlo, kodwa azinyangwa ukuba azibonwanga. Abazali abaninzi banokuzuza ngokufunda okungakumbi malunga nendlela ukhathalelo lwamehlo olukhuselayo olunokunceda ngayo ukugcina impumelelo yabantwana babo kwizifundo.
Isinye kwisithathu kuphela sabazali, abathathe inxaxheba kolu phando lutsha, babonise ukuba imfuneko yabantwana babo yeelensi zokulungisa yabonwa ngexesha lotyelelo oluqhelekileyo kugqirha wamehlo. Ngowama-2050, kuqikelelwa ukuba isiqingatha sabemi behlabathi siya kuba ne-myopia, kwaye okuxhalabisayo ngakumbi, i-10 ekhulwini iya kuba ne-myopia kakhulu. Njengoko iimeko ze-myopia phakathi kwabantwana zisanda, ukuvavanywa kwamehlo okubanzi ngugqirha wamehlo kufuneka kube yeyona nto iphambili kubazali.
Njengoko uphando lufumanise ukuba phantse isiqingatha (44.7 ekhulwini) sabantwana abanengxaki yokubona ngaphambi kokuba bafune iilensi zokulungisa amehlo, uvavanyo lwamehlo nogqirha wamehlo lunokwenza umahluko omkhulu ebomini bomntwana.
Okukhona umntwana eba nesifo sokungaboni kakuhle, kokukhona esi sifo sikhawuleza siqhubeke. Nangona isifo sokungaboni kakuhle sinokukhokelela ekuphazamisekeni okukhulu kokubona, iindaba ezimnandi zezokuba ngokuhlolwa kwamehlo rhoqo, okuqalela ebuntwaneni, kunokubonwa kwangethuba, kujongwane nako kwaye kulawulwe.
