Description
Across the world an extraordinary epidemic of short sightedness is occurring in young children, putting them at risk of severe vision impairment and even blindness in older age. Although the epidemic has been blamed on everything from screen time, to higher education, to genetics, the cause is relatively surprising. As our urban kids spend less time outside, their eyes are growing abnormally from a lack of bright light. In this episode of Catalyst we look into the rise of myopia, and how scientists are finding a way to turn the tide on the epidemic. Also, meet Maya, Australia's first koala scat detection dog who's helping researchers on koala conservation projects. Her job? To sniff out Koala poo. Maya's amazing speed and accuracy enables scientists to better survey koala habitats, health and population numbers.
