Nor those hand held little computers that kids seem to be staring into all day long.

To me it seems more likely staring at screens all the time.

You have a myopic view of the facts.

Well it does say it has been a treand for the past three decades.  o; The obvious factor is straining to look at cell phones 24/7.

Computer screen time of spending entire school days in front of a computer did this.

Staring into a phone every waking moment will no doubt affect a person’s vision, probably more so for young eyes.

I’ve been thinking lately that glasses are like dental braces; if you can pay for them, you need them. I was diagnosed as needing glasses 40 years ago. I’ve never worn them and I’ve functioned quite well.

I needed and received glasses when I was 14.
Wore glasses and/or contacts for 48 years. Vision was 20/250.
In 2010 I became the fourth person in my family’s history to get 2nd sight which is where your farsightedness overrides your nearsightedness and you have perfect vision.
Vision now is 20/15.

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.
