STUDY ON THE EFFECTS OF ART PAINTING COMBINED WITH SPORTS ON MYOPIA PREVENTION AND VISION IMPROVEMENT

Area of Science:

• Ophthalmology
• Public Health
• Educational Health

Background:

• Computer science students face increasing rates of poor vision.
• There is a need to identify effective interventions for myopia prevention and visual health improvement in this demographic.

Purpose of the Study:

• To investigate the vision status and health trends of computer science students.
• To compare the efficacy of exercise and painting interventions on myopia prevention and visual health.

Main Methods:

• Longitudinal vision tracking of student cohorts (2020, 2021, 2022).
• Analysis of vision changes over three academic years for the 2020 cohort.
• Comparison of vision outcomes between interest-based (exercise, painting) and non-interest classes for the 2021 cohort.
• Statistical analysis using chi-square tests.

Main Results:

• The prevalence of poor vision among new computer science students increased from 84.72% to 89.12% over three years.
• A significant downward trend in vision was observed in the 2020 cohort over three academic years (P=0.000).
• Students participating in exercise and painting interest classes showed significant improvements in visual health compared to non-interest groups (P=0.010).

Conclusions:

• The rate of poor vision among computer science students is a growing concern.
• Interventions incorporating exercise and painting demonstrate a positive impact on student visual health.
• These activities can effectively slow the progression of vision decline in computer science students.
