Grey hair is caused by death of the melanin (color)-producing cells in the hair follicle. It is more noticeable in dark hair than light. Since most Indian people are dark haired, it can be seen in children, whereas in a largely light-haired population, it would not be seen. Greying can happen at any age, though it is more likely as one ages.(1)

All people do not have poor eyesight (or it wouldn't be considered poor, it would be considered normal), though there are genetic, environmental and nutritional factors that can make the numbers greater in one area than another. Many of those who do have poor eyesight, have had it since birth.

It is unlikely to be noticed in a young child who is otherwise healthy, as they can't tell you what they can or cannot see. As they learn to talk, they don't mention any problem, because they don't know that everybody's eyesight isn't like theirs.

If you are seeing an increased incidence of poor eyesight, perhaps it is due to better medical care and eyesight screening. Certainly it could be something that is causing children to have poor eyesight more often than in the past, but it's more likely that it's just being picked up earlier.

I think that if you were able to find the information from an unbiased source, you'd learn that these two things have always happened in young children, and aren't just starting to happen now. And remember, older people *always* think "Things just aren't the way they used to be!" We're sometimes wrong about *some* things.
