Myopia Epidemic Myopia is the most common ocular disorder worldwide, it is the leading cause of visual impairment in children, and its incidence is increasing rapidly. 1,2  In 2010, an estimated 1.9 billion people (27% of the world’s population) were myopic, and 70 million of them (2.8%) had high myopia. These numbers are projected to rise to 52% and 10%, respectively, by 2050 (Figure). 1 Figure.

  The first flying boat Well… it was only a matter of time! In an incredible feat for the maritime sector, the first-ever flying boat was recently introduced to the market. The Pioneer of Belfast – developed by Belfast-based Artemis Technologies – is propelled out of the water by a wing-like structure on its underside. Using an electric motor, the Pioneer successfully reduces emissions by up to 90%. And since 90% of global trade is shipped by water, it’s another huge step in the right direction for the UK’s mission towards net zero. This is great for the future of shipping which will reduce energy costs, maintenance costs and the creation of swell which is an issue in well chartered waters.
