you seem to think the real cause is "being inside" and not using your eyes in a particular way? (looking at close objects...). What is the exact mechanism by which being inside affects your eyes then?
- croes 3y agoArtificial lighting? Less sunlight? Lower light intensity?
- nsonha 3y agoyes, there is a theory on how the muscles of the eyes become "miscalibrated", so to speak, if you only look at close things. What is the exact mechanism of the "lower light" theory then?

- nsonha 3y agothank you, I skimmed over this in the article
- smallnix 3y agoPlease read the article. Its about that. I'll try to explain what I understood from the article: the natural sunlight makes your body release dopamine, dopamine causes the eye not to elongate, not elongation equals not having near-sightedness. Probably I got that only half right. Anyhow the article claims it's not looking at close things and the real cause is being inside.
- cromulent 3y agoThat's the subject of the article.
