Story summary
- A SUNY College of Optometry study links the rise in myopia to prolonged close-up focus in dim lighting.
- Researchers found insufficient light reaching the retina during sustained near work may hinder development.
- The study suggests bright light exposure enables healthier retinal stimulation.
- The findings propose a hypothesis linking visual habits, lighting, and eye focus, and call for further prevention and treatment research.
- The study is published in Cell Reports.
