    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.

          If they’re lucky, and hopefully they are! There are a LOT more bad jobs out there than sitting inside and looking at screens.
