Modern Behavior Drives Myopia
- Bad vision today often results from modern behavior rather than ancient evolution.
- Increased indoor close work like screen time drives the rise in nearsightedness (myopia).
Kids Need Outdoor Time
- To reduce nearsightedness risk, encourage kids to spend more time outdoors.
- Indoor screen time and close work increase chances of developing worsening myopia.

- The retina's rods and cones convert light and color into signals sent to the brain to form images.
