Dr Marguerite Thoma Ebert of Milwaukee heads the American Optometric Association School Vision Committee. Her study, echoed by a Texas Health survey of 160000 children, links faulty lighting and poor room design to widespread vision problems by end of elementary school. She cites improvements in natural light, glare reduction, artificial light use, diagonal desk layouts, pastel boards, and properly designed furniture as preventive measures. Modernized classrooms, she says, can prevent many visual difficulties and improve overall health.
