Myopia news, articles and information:
 | 1/21/2016 - Myopia, or nearsightedness, has been increasing over the past few decades among adults and is showing up more in very young children, even preschool-age kids.

 | 9/16/2015 10:22:39 AM - Sunshine can reduce eye problems, new research shows. In addition to the many benefits of being outdoors, a study has now shown that nearsightedness, also known as myopia, was less common among children who spend more time outdoors each day.

|
| 3/19/2009 - Over 100 years ago, researchers noted that people who used their eyes a lot for close work, such as bookkeepers, were often nearsighted. And those who used their eyes mostly for distance, such as farmers and soldiers, were rarely nearsighted. The conclusion was that myopia is caused by constant close-up...
