Fact Check: Video Circulating Online Claiming 'Blind Baby Glasses' Invented by Scientists?

Reported 7 months ago

On June 14, 2024, Taiwan FactCheck Center #3068 reported on a viral video claiming to show 'blind baby glasses' invented by scientists. However, ophthalmologists have clarified that the babies in the video likely have myopia, not blindness, and the glasses they wear help correct their vision. The viral video's claim is debunked, as it shows babies with vision issues being able to see better with corrective glasses, not blind babies gaining sight through special glasses. Eye specialists emphasize that true blindness cannot be corrected in this way, and the video has been misconstrued on social media platforms. The report urges fact-checking before sharing misleading information. (Reporter: Zeng Huiwen; Editor: Chen Weiting)
