J Children who sit close to the television screen, watch a great deal of television or spend much time reading may be unconsciously telling their parents they have a vision problem, according to doctors of optometry in Oregon, These may be signs of the vision condition known as myopia or nearsightedness, which optom etric studies show is becoming increasingly prevalent today. Dr. David N. Qualls, presi dent of the Oregon Optome trie Association, pointed out that a 1937 optometric study of elementary school children found 13 percent nearsighted, while a similar 1967 test revealed that 37 percent ol the youngsters were myopic. A person with myopia sees near objects more clearly than objects which are far away, Dr. Qualls explained. This is why it is often called near sightedness. Although very few people are born with the condition, there may be here ditarv tendencies with myo pia. It usually develops during the first 25 years of life. It is one of the few vision conditions that can he and often is first detected by observant parents, teachers, or school nurses or through a vision screening program, the Gresham doctor of optometry said. In addition to sitting close to the television set, other signs of myopia include squinting and a lack of in terest in outdoor activities. The myopic child is often quite studious. Dr. Qualls pointed out, and often does well with desk work.

The program, the first of its kind in the nation between two sister cities, calls for the City of Sapporo to send a technical employee to Portland this year, and a year from now, the City of Portland will send a technical employee to Sap poro. The present agreement calls for an exchange of one employee per year for periods of one year. The first employee to parti cipate in the exchange is Mr. Nobuo Sato from the City of Sapporo. He is a senior level engineer in the City of Sap poro and has been engaged in the construction of pumping stations and sewer treatment plants in the municipal sew age works. He was gradu ated from the Department of Sanitary Engineering. Facul ty of Engineering, Hokkaido University, in March, 1966. He has been employed by the City of Sapporo since April, 1966.

While in Portland, Mr. Sato will be assigned to the Bureau of Sanitary Engineering in the City Engineer's office in the Department of Public Works. a nee vision for reading the halk board or flash cards held oy the teacher. There are many theories about the causes of myopia hut the exact cause has not been pinpointed. Dr. Qualls said. Because vision is com plex the causes of vision conditions are usually com p lex . However, myopia is one vision condition that can he effectively remedied with eyeglass lenses (including bi focal lenses) or with contact lenses. Some optometrists have found that "learning lenses," which use a mild convex prescription, aid a child’s eye in seeing effortlessly at near point and may help to delay certain types of myopia often caused by near work con centration. Other optometric research ers are delving into a re latively new area called or thokeratology. in which a series of special contact lenses are designed to control and. in some instances, to reduce myopia by changing the shape DO Not Pul O il Needed Dental Care ol the exterior surface of the eye. Yet, Dr. Qualls points out. there is no certain prevention for myopia and methods being used to reduce the condition are still experimental. Pre sently, the beat recommen dation is that everyone under age 25 should seek regular professional vision care to detect and correct myopia in its early stages.
