Kudos to you for tackling this subject. Having been myopic as a child, developing early onset of floaters and cataracts long before usual, I discovered there is already a lot outside of the conventional medical world about vision improvement and eye health. Engaging in this has helped me, a high-risk eye disease patient, avoid seeing an ophthalmologist for well over a decade - which might seem foolish given the preciousness of eyesight. I’m really glad to see people in the medical/health sector, such as yourself, start to look beyond existing understanding.
Another very interesting essay. I always learn from you. I’ve always been an avid reader & developed myopia in early 20s. My daughter also avid reader since 3 yo (I know, right) developed myopia in 4th grade. When e-readers came out I switched for convenience but during Covid I went back to actual books again-there’s nothing like the smell of fresh ink & the feel of holding one & turning actual pages. Still spend too much screen time.
I wonder what impact diet/nutrition has on eye health. This year I’ve focused on metabolic health by eliminating most processed foods, seed oils, grains, & sugar not sure impact on eyes but I sure feel better. It would be interesting to study.
The plan is to tackle piecemeal the health effects of screen time and computer exposure in a series of essays. Some of the things I'll be writing about will be of even more interest to you. Stay tuned. And as always, thank you for reading. Be sure to share it.

As always, I very much appreciate your comments.
This is going to be recurrent series and the information I uncover will be outside the realm of normal..
