After hearing Andrew Huberman talk about the relationship between vision and our dopamine system, I would not be surprised if we start finding more correlations of mental health with vision.
But there's also the recent findings inversely correlating myopia with amount of time spent outdoors (and even some reduction in myopia for people who start spending more time outdoors). So vision could just be a proxy for sedentism?

- pbmonster 3y agoCertainly not exclusively. We have a pretty thorough understanding of vision loss with age, and almost all of it is caused in the optics part of the system (that's why you can compensate with glasses or eye surgery for such a long time), not in the optic nerve or after it. Hearing is pretty similar, no idea about smelling.
