Outdoor activity reduces the prevalence of myopia in children. (2008, background): “Although these 2 factors could indicate a genetic contribution, myopia is generally believed to have a multifactorial etiology, and the rapid rise in prevalent myopia suggests that rapidly changing environmental factors are predominant in determining the current patterns of myopia.(22)”
The Complications of Myopia: A Review and Meta-Analysis (2020, methodology): “Titles and abstracts of articles, published before June 1, 2019, were independently reviewed for relevancy by two authors (AEGH and CAE) and included when the following criteria were met: (1) full text available; (2) written in English; and (3) subject of article was myopia complications, visual con”
Homeostasis of eye growth and the question of myopia. (2004, positive): “Third, cultures in which people lead outdoor lives have little myopia (Morgan and Rose, 2004), but when compulsory education and the other attributes of modern Western culture were introduced to Inuit or American Indian villages, there was a 4-fold increase in the incidence of myopia within one gene”
Worldwide prevalence and risk factors for myopia (2011, neutral): “Hence, educational level may be a surrogate for near work.(72) Meanwhile, the association between education and myopia may also reflect common genetics of intelligence and refraction.”
Role of near work in myopia: findings in a sample of Australian school children. (2008, background): “It was initially assumed that increased accommodation associated with near work mediated the effects of education on the development of myopia.(8) However, studies using detailed time-based or accommodation-weighted measures of near work have not demonstrated strong associations between near work an”
