The development of myopia is an attempt to correct the vision
I believe it was good for human being when they live in the trees, nothing close by to look at. However, the environment changed. Now we mostly don't look anything farthing than a room.
wearing contact or glasses won't slow down the development of myopia, children start with good vision. It has to be something else.
what will strong illumination do to the eyeball? It reduces the iris. More material, more thickness, more pressure.
