Look at Medicine and its Cross-Eyed View of Nearsightedness

Prevent Myopia, Part V: The Role of Our Schools

Prevent Myopia, Part III: Research Supports Prevention

3/19/2009 - Over 100 years ago, researchers noted that people who used their eyes a lot for close work, such as bookkeepers, were often nearsighted.
