:: PILAR MANZANARES ixty years ago, about 20 per cent of the Chinese popu- lation suffered from myo- S pia (short-sightedness) but nowadays the figure is more like 80 per cent. In the USA, 42 per cent suf- fer from myopia, compared with 26 per cent 30 years ago. In southern Europe, about 35 per cent of people are myopic, while in the north it af- fects one in every two people. In Spain at present, about 25 to 30 per cent of the population has myopia. With figures like these it is no sur- prise that myopia is now considered a new pandemic, because in recent years there has been an alarming in- crease in different parts of the world. Why is this? Is it because people nowadays spend so much time look- ing at computers and mobile phones? Dr Sara Bueno, professor of optics and optometry at the CEU San Pablo :: S.R. university and a member of the aca- demic committee of the Visión y Vida association, says various factors are involved. Some are well known, and others less so, and it is possible that some have yet to be determined. There are genetic factors - as many as 24 genes have already been iden- tified whose carriers have a greater risk of developing myopia - and en- vironmental factors can also play a part. The studies into environmental factors which are associated with the onset and progression of myopia have analysed lifestyles, schooling and the number of hours of exposure to the sun. Children who spend a lot of time at home or in enclosed places, studying, carrying out tasks or play- ing on the computer are much more likely to show signs of myopia. “But it isn’t because of the screen as such, it’s to do with the surroundings, the distance and the extra effort it in- volves for the visual system. The type of light is also important, because it is artificial light and not sunlight,” explains Dr Bueno. It seems that the less time that children spend in the fresh air, the higher the risk of myo- pia and other vision problems. Dr Bueno recommends spending around three hours a day outside in the fresh air, as a means of preven- tion. “What we can say is that less use of technology and more walks or playtime outside can help prevent vision problems,” she explains. Detection Myopia is a defect in refraction which is usually detected when children are at school. Because they cannot see at a distance, they hold their book close or need to be near the screen they are looking at. They may squint June 2nd to 8th 2017 39 SUR IN ENGLISH HEALTH&BEAUTY

MALAGA. The course at Alcaidesa, in the Cadiz municipality of San Roque, last Saturday welcomed the first leg of the Costa del Golf tour - one of the biggest amateur tours to take place in Andalucía, organi- sed by SUR and its leading specia- list publication Costa del Golf. Around a hundred players, des- cribed by the tour’s director as ha- ving a “very high level”, took part in the event, won by Salvador Be- nítez and Antonio Sánchez in the first and second categories, respec- tively. Francesca Robert McCor- mack topped the women’s table. Juan Manuel Toro, Peter Grut- ter, Antonio Corral and Antonio Gil made up the rest of the top five in the first category with Raúl López, David Doña, Matías de los Ríos and Manuel Justo doing likewise in the second. Among the female players, Mercedes Espiñeira, María José Ve- gas, Rosa Risoto and María Victo- ria Sel made up the rest of the pack. The tour is played as an individ- ual Stableford points competition and access to the grand final (which takes place at Los Flamingos, in the Hotel Villa Padierna in Marbella) depends on performance across the three matchdays, though it is still possible to progress having only played in one or two. Players wishing to take part can still sign up via the Oferplan web- site (oferplan.diariosur.es) for the tour’s remaining two stops on24 June and 8 July. The first will be at Real Club de Golf Guadalmina, which this year will also host the Women’s Open

Figures show signs of recovery in golf tourism sector

Golf tourism grew on the Costa del Sol by four per cent in 2016 compared with the previous year - a figure which confirms the con- tinuing recovery of a sector which is one of the largest in An- dalucía, and one which suffered most during the economic crisis. The growing support from sponsors has seen a number of professional and amateur tourna- ments make a reappearance on the calendar in recent months. The Malaga provincial autho- rity says that golf tourism is worth 400 million euros to the Costa del Sol, with that figure ri- sing to 900 million when secon- dary spending is taken into account. ¡VAMOS, REAL MADRID-UNICAJA 60 TONIGHT 8.30PM June 2nd to 8th 2017 SPORT UNICAJA!
