Eye doctors in Shanghai found out that the nearsightedness among primary and middle school students has something to do with the color of the paper in their textbooks and notebooks.
The doctors suggested that yellow paper will be used to replace the white one. According to their research, the experts found out white paper reflects too much light and easily tires a person’s eyes. The yellow paper, however, doesn’t look so sharp to a person’s eyes. In other words, it is much milder(柔和)to the eyes of students who may do reading or writing for hours.
The experts’ research findings were based on firsthand information and a number of scientific experiments including a new study among the students from forty-one middle schools. To make the students understand the truth, Shanghai Education Development Co. Ltd has produced textbooks and exercise-books made of yellow paper. The books will be used in the whole city soon.
