Leftist chicks seem to have an affinity for ugly oversized granny glasses. This must be a recent trend.

No, I’m sure it has nothing to do with shots. No need to incoherently blame everything bad on them as some are predisposed to do. I was a bookworm from a very young age, and have spent most of my time in front of a screen otherwise. This is utterly not a surprise for me. I’d be legally blind without corrective vision (which is thankfully effective). I make a point now to spend time outside (hiking and so forth), but the damage is done.

Probably has much more to do with everyone having their faces planted on their cell phones.

In our extended family the kids who hunted a lot had longsightedness or perfect vision while the kids who sat in their rooms studying and reading ended up shortsighted.

Every minute a kid looks at a phone screen is a moment taken away from developing their imagination. And when they fail at a task with no alternative provided, they fail because they can’t concieve a novel solution due to lack of exercising their imagination.

I think excess retinol can cause myopia.
