Question

IV. Read the text. For statements 17 through 21, write true (T) or false (F) A new study, conducted in the UK by The Eyecare Trust and the pharmaceutical company Optrex, has found that British people spend an incredible 128,780 hours stuck in front of a TV or computer screen during their lifetime. Eye health campaigners have warned this can be exceedingly detrimenta! to vision and general health. The situation is somewhat exacerbated by the fact that most people are unaware that their eyesight is being damaged by staring at TV screens or computer monitors. There are quite often no telltale warning signs, beyond the occasional eyestrain or headache, that something more serious might be happening. Even worse, says the study, is the fact that ten percent of adults have never had an eye test. The study found that adult couch potatoes were glued to the TV for 30.5 hours a week, while workaholics spent 35 hours focusing on their computer monitors. Sixty-three percent of computer users complained about "terrible headaches" or migraines upon leaving work, while 53 percent suffered from tired or strained eyes. Thirty percent of those questioned in the study said they regularly put up with dry, irritated and watery eyes. Twenty percent confessed to having imperfections with their eyesight but not doing anything about it. Iain Anderson, chairman of the Eyecare Trust, said: "It's vital that computer users follow a healthy eye care regime. Screen fatigue - sore, itchy, irritated eyes or temporary blurring of your vision- affects up to 90 percent of computer users." 17. The shape of British people's eyes is changing. 18. There are many telltales warning signs that say our eyesight is deteriorating. 19. Ten percent of British adults have never been examined by an ophthalmologist. 20.
