Tangential reflection:
Little known fact: SMILE eye surgery only allows pupils up to a fixed diameter. Kind of like car seats are also designed for a standard height individual.
Interesting non-linear effects arise in low-light conditions when pupils dilate beyond the 6 mm maximum.
Apparently being intelligent (and likely needing eye correction from all that reading) as well as tall, is no fun combination. The hard life of a multi-variate outlier in the world of average ergonomics.
- WWLink 2y agolol the plus side is not needing the awful eye dialation eye drops when you see the optometrist!
- kwhitefoot 2y ago> likely needing eye correction from all that reading Is reading actually proven to cause short sightedness? I read everything I could lay my hands on from the age of four. From age ten I read at at least two hundred pages a day until I was in my thirties. I still don't need glasses at the age of nearly sixty nine. I realize that this is only one data point but I also know a lot of people who do need glasses and most of them are not and never have been avid readers. But I spent a large amount of time out of doors tramping the fields, especially in the summer. I still do spend at least an hour out of doors every day.
