I attended a talk on eye care and the optometrist reveal that the primary cause of myopia among Singaporeans is the result of the environment. By the way, Singapore is one of the countries with the highest myopic population in the WORLD. The environment factor alone makes up 85% while other factors like hereditary make-up, etc are in the 15%. What environment we talking about here? A superbly enclosed area. Due to the lack of land space, developers have no choice but to squeeze every building close together in order to optimize the land use. Without distance objects to focus on, prolonged visual exposure to nearby objects thus increase the risk of myopia. From a Feng Shui perspective, most of these buildings are lacking a Bright Hall 明堂. Other than those buildings facing the sea, all inland facing buildings or offices would mean a small Bright Hall or no Bright Hall at all. The occurrences of Poison Arrows will also be very high due to the proximity. Thus, a negative environment can actually have such a detrimental effect on a nationwide level.
