Performing the Chinese Eye Exercises and Children’s Vision—What Can We Learn from Primary Schoolers in Rural Northwestern China? | Chapter 6 | New Advances in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 6

 The phase presents new evidence of the impact of regularly operating the Chinese eye exercises (CEE) on Chinese students’ visual consequences, based on a big survey dataset on 9,842 fourth graders carelessly chosen from 252 primary schools in country Northwestern China. We used an influential-variable (IV) method and a bivariate-probit model to assess the effects of usually performing the CEE on pupils' visual acuity and the occurrence of visual impairment and myopia. Bivariate-probit estimates and IV estimates two together show that the CEE has a negative impact on juniors' visual acuity.  When distinguished to pupils who did not usually perform the CEE, those the one did were 6.2 allotment points more likely to have impaired apparition and 7.6 percentage points more inclined be myopic.  Our results mean that the frequently observed wrong performance of the CEE  with Chinese students imposes non-trivial hazards to their able to be seen with eyes health, under the hypothesis that the correct execution of the CEE would not hinder students' vision.
