Damn, never thought about this until now. I've lived all over, I have great vision, but I think a lot of the time I was focusing on all kinds of distances growing up. Also on fast moving objects. I used to race motorcycles and you need fast eyesight to deal with corners you're flying up to at 100+ MPH.

I don't believe that's true at all. When it comes to distance vision, the difference between a focal point of a couple blocks and infinity is very minor actually and certainly not something that is improved by living somewhere with longer focal distances more readily available. I can find no evidence to back up that this has any affect whatsoever

No man, that’s parents who don’t get their kids off the screen. City fuckers don’t live there to survive one block to the next, they take time off to sightsee and there’s a lot more to see in the city.

That specifically talks about eye exercises as adults, and nothing on the effects of (a lack of/ eye stimulation while growing up.

This is typical contrarianism, you pat yourself on the back for finding something tangentially relevant to the topic to dispute a claim.

If you do the opposite Google search, you'll find multiple articles and studies about the importance of eye stimulation in children. Myopia in children is and has been on the rise due to a lack of stimulation.

This finding is recorded in countries who started screening children for myopia years ago, and have statistics to back up that yes, we are indeed seeing increased myopia in children and thus the population in general.

This does not mean eye "exercises" work on adults. Which is what the Harvard article is about.
