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 guess words change if we use them incorrectly for long enough.

    Looking at the etymology, it appears that short sighted started as the medical term, with it’s relation to foresight coming later. It’s also older than nearsighted.

    It may be less common in modern contexts, but it’s definitely a “correct” use.

    Also: all words are made up and the points don’t matter.
