Interesting that 3/10 people globally have myopia (near sightedness)… that’s absurdly high. And as the trends stay as they are they are only predicting an increase
I guess it proves humans as a whole are focusing more on screens, books, and other short visions tasks
Focusing on providing safe outdoor spaces for everyone has never been more important

Let’s hope there is a way to cure it.
I always thought it was only genetic, so noone could do anything against a wrong eyeball shape. But this seems very uplifting.
I wonder though why this article cites mainly eastern Asian sources. Is the rest of the world not interested in curing myopia?
Wasn’t myopia linked to lack of exposure to sunlight while growing up? The cure is literally for children to go outside more. and for those with it LASIK is the only solution.
As I understand it, it isn’t sunlight, but distance.
If a child spends all its time indoors focusing on nothing farther than the walls, myopia will result.
Well how do you expect the kid to prepped to spend all of their adult working life in front of computer screen?
If they’re lucky, and hopefully they are! There are a LOT more bad jobs out there than sitting inside and looking at screens.
The article goes into detail on this
It has been a noticeable phenomena in East Asia for about 2 decades longer than the West. They’ve been studying it longer/have more data.

Outdoors teaching is an idea we should really be doing more. It would have been useful to have during the pandemic, and it is still a good idea.
