Appleโ€™s latest myopia-focused health feature is now available, and it is designed to make a significant impact on the well-being of current and future generations.

Apple is taking a proactive stance in addressing the global impact of myopia, a condition affecting an estimated 30% of people today, with predictions to soar to 50% by 2050. Recognizing the long-term visual consequences, Apple aims to raise awareness and encourage healthy viewing habits๐Ÿ˜ƒ

To promote these healthier viewing habits, users are prompted to move their devices further away from their faces if held within 12 inches for an extended period. This not only helps in reducing the risk of myopia progression in younger users but also aids adults in alleviating digital eye strain๐Ÿ™Œ

When a user holds their device too close to their face, an alert will intervene, preventing further screen viewing until corrective action is taken. Users need to move their device beyond the 12-inch threshold and by tapping โ€œcontinueโ€ on the screen, they can dismiss the alert ๐Ÿ””

This cutting-edge feature is accessible to Apple users on both iOS 17 and iPadOS 17.
