>> This uniformity of focus is what tells the eye to stop growing, contends Ian Flitcroft, a paediatric ophthalmologist at the Centre for Eye Research Ireland in Dublin. “An effective stop signal is where the whole retina is seeing a clear image,” he says. Driving. Driving cars is one of those rare activities where your eyes are constantly refocusing on objects at radically different distances, often several times per second. I would be very interested in a study tracking myopia in truckers. Imho, the end of human-controlled cars will result in a profound uptick in myopia.
