PATNA: The increased dependency on cellphones and laptops for online education and other purposes following Covid-19 pandemic over the last two years has led to the rise in eye-related issues, including drastic deterioration of eyesight, burning sensation, headache and blurred vision in students. This was found during a 21-day-long eye-check up camp at St Michael’s High School (SMHS), which concluded on Friday. Approximately, 2,000 students were tested during the camp.
School authorities claimed that it was a major concern and observation of the school management and the teachers when the students faced difficulty in reading and writing their notes from the board and often complained of frequent headaches and not being able to see the blackboard clearly.
