The planet’s vision is getting worse: 50% of the population will have myopia by 2050
Optometrists believe that the reason for this is that we’re tending to be inside more than we used to be, rather than going outside as much, so our eyes basically aren’t getting as much exercise in looking at stuff far away.
I’ve also heard the theory that eyes need ultraviolet light to grow properly, which is missing in artificial lighting.
Yeah, I’ve noticed that my eyes focal point has become the distance to my monitor.
We're also only focusing on our phone screen not too far from our face too.
You mean to tell me, that in this day and age, with half a zillion cars out on the road damn near every day, that people don't go outside as much as they used to? Let alone have to look half a mile down the road to find the exit sign on the highway?..
Myopia develops in children. If you have any, you'll know they don't generally look out of car windows.
