The fact that we need alternatives to spending time outdoors because our society doesnāt allow it is really dystopian.

Wow, that's the longest call for "Go play outside!" I've ever listened to!

This makes sense. Iām 22 and still have 20/20 vision. My mom always told me when using my computer take a break every 20 minutes and focus on something across the room or outside. Think this helped a lot as I was more indoors as a kid. Iāve also always tried to refocus my eyes when driving or doing other things. I know this is anecdotal but itās such a simple thing to do and I donāt doubt that it helps

I'm in my 40s and have never spent much time in front of screens. Especially in early childhood. I've never been big into tv or anything. Yet I am incredibly highly myopic.

I'm 35 with prefect vision. My wife is basically blind without glasses. I've always wondered how something SO not compatible with staying alive could be rife in our genes. Like a few thousand years ago bad eyesight would be a death sentence. This all makes a lot of sense to me.
Edit: most of these replies which are implying it's natural and normal for short sightedness to be integral to communal life seem to be saying either it's an age thing and older people are looked after or it's an advantage to have better close vision in select individuals in a tribe.
Many people including my wife had poor vision from mid teens and she can't see better than me up close. She can see clearly within like a meter but not more so than me.
And prehistoric humans only lived to 30-40 so obviously vision declining around then is not what I'm talking about.
It's just way more plausible how we're living and using our eyes in this modern world is destroying our vision in an unnatural way

I've spent my early years 8-20 playing video games, watching videos, and reading in front of a computer for 8ā14 hrs a day. I had 0, none, problems with eyesight. Then, I went to college and stopped playing video games that much, started working out, and reading more physical books. The result: In 3 years I developed nearsightedness with -1.75 R and -2.0 L. My parents still blame it on the computerā¦

Completely blind working individual here. Thank you for this video. Iāve been working in blind and low vision services for ten years now and have noticed steady climbing of myopia amongst our population. Thank you for the explanations in this video.

Ever since I started spending more time inside watching YouTube videos and less time working outside, I've noticed a significant decline in my ability to see things at a distance. Thank you for shedding some light on this pressing issue.

I think A LOT of our eye issues are due to what we eat and the resulting insulin resistance. There are many people that comment on eliminating sugar, processed foods, and seed/vegetable oils and their eyesight got better.

I am always astonished how self destructive our body is. It can enlengthen the eye ball until we become blind but refuses to shorten it. It can remove cartilage with yet unknown triggers and create the worst pain humans know but it cant regrow it or lets say it doesnt want to.

Thank you for bringing attention to this issue.
I wasn't aware.

Golden information. Let's spread the word. Blessings!

Hypothesis: Grow up within square rooms and looking near and you get nearsighted. Live outside and look to distant landscape and you dont get nearsighted. I worked in a forest for 2 years and during that time my vision did not decline as it usually does each year. I attributed it to always looking to distant points through the day.

I think this can also be undone. I have had a 2 week long bike tour outside every day with sun. After this my usual computer glasses were too strong. My myopia improved a bit. This can definitely be treated.

Doctor Chua, I for one would like to thank you for this presentation. I have been nearsighted most of my life, and this condition is no joke. I was not aware many of the other aspects of this condition that you highlight. I want to encourage you to continue to get the result of these studies out to the general public.

Absolutely stunning reveal. Thank you so much Sir.

Interesting! I had always had 20/20 vision, until early adulthood. But I switched jobs, going from being a reporter who split time between gathering news and writing it up, to being a copy editor, who stared at a screen eight hours a day. The change was dramatic. My vision quickly started to deteriorate, so I visited an eye doctor. He was astonished that I'd even been able to drive to the office, given how bad my vision had gotten.

My eyesight IMPROVED the year I worked in a flower shop moving flowers in and out of coolers and delivering them around town instead of staring at a screen all day. Since moving back to a desk job Iām getting headaches and my eyesights once again getting worse.
