Protecting Young Eyes: How Smart Lighting Can Help Curb Myopia in Singaporean Children

As Double 11 approaches, parents are on the lookout for gifts that are not only practical but also meaningful for their children’s well-being. With one of the highest childhood myopia rates in the world: around 65% of Singaporean children are myopic by age 12, the need for better eye-care habits at home has never been more urgent.

BenQ eye care lamp for children

In this light (pun intended), BenQ’s Smart Lighting series, particularly the MindDuo 2, stands out as an innovative companion for young learners. Designed with advanced eye-care technology, these smart lamps are more than just study lights, they’re a proactive step toward protecting children’s vision in a digital age.

A Smart Way to Support Healthy Vision

The MindDuo 2 is engineered to adapt seamlessly to how children learn and read. Whether it’s co-reading with parents or studying independently, its smart dimming technology automatically adjusts brightness and color temperature based on surrounding light conditions.

It also comes with Paper and Screen modes, offering optimal illumination whether your child is flipping through a storybook or reviewing notes on a tablet. This adaptability reduces glare, eye strain, and visual fatigue: helping kids focus longer while keeping their eyes comfortable.

For families that value creativity, BenQ also offers the Piano Light, which provides wide, even illumination perfect for artistic pursuits, and the WiT, a flexible lamp suited for teens and older students who need adaptive brightness for late-night study sessions.

Good lighting is more than just illumination: it’s a foundation for healthy learning habits. Research shows that well-lit environments can help reduce eye strain and slow the progression of myopia, especially in children who spend long hours reading or using digital devices indoors.

By introducing MindDuo 2 into your home setup, parents can take a small but impactful step toward curbing myopia progression while creating a nurturing space for their child’s growth.
