As one meta-analysis put it:

It’s estimated that an increase of one hour per day of outdoor time could reduce the occurrence of myopia in children by 45%.

Make sure your kids spend time outside, folks!

    I was outside a ton when I was younger and I still have myopia. These things happen.

      You might have had a higher degree of myopia if you hadn’t spent all that time outdoors.
