12.02.2010 - Interpretation of dali48
Scientists puzzle over the reasons why myopia (nearsightedness) is nowadays a problem for more people than before. One thesis: For people prefering to stay at home certain growth processes of the eyeball are not regulated by light. Too much sugar also harms the eye...

Eye expert F. Schäffeler from the University of Tübingen:
"With 2 myopic parents the chance of being short-sighted oneself doubles or triples." In contrast, L. Cordain of Colorado State University provides that the cause of the rampant myopia lies in the sugared Nutrition (see hidden and camouflaged sugar substitutes in food, etc. - d.48) of our time...
In fact, the consumption of soft drinks, sweets and sugared breakfast Ceralien has similar risen as the rate of shortsightedness in recent years. And in chickens there arose a severe myopia, after they had injected them insulin...
There is no preventative treatment till now. Glasses, contact lenses and corneal surgeries with the laser only change the refraction of light fix, but not the problem of the eyeball... (Rhine Post, 12.02.2010)

Interpretation of dali48
Myopia "nearsightedness" (AmE), "shortsightedness" (BrE) is a condition of the eye where the light that comes in does not directly focus on the retina but in front of it. This causes the image that one sees when looking at a distant object to be out of focus but in focus when looking at a close object...
Eye care professionals most commonly correct myopia through the use of corrective lenses, such as glasses or contact lenses. It may also be corrected by refractive surgery, though there are cases of associated side effects. The corrective lenses have a negative optical power (i.e. are concave) which compensates for the excessive positive diopters of the myopic eye...
The National Institutes of Health says there is no known way of preventing myopia, and the use of glasses or contact lenses does not affect its progression. There is no universally accepted method of preventing myopia; proposed procedures have not been studied for effectiveness...
A number of alternative therapies exist including eye exercises and relaxation techniques, such as the Bates method. However, the efficacy of these practices is disputed by scientists and eye care practitioners. A 2005 review of scientific papers on the subject concluded that there was "no clear scientific evidence" that eye exercises were effective in treating myopia...
The global prevalence of refractive errors has been estimated from 800 million to 2.3 billion. The incidence of myopia within sampled population often varies with age, country, sex, race, ethnicity, occupation, environment, and other factors. Variability in testing and data collection methods makes comparisons of prevalence and progression difficult...
A number of studies have shown the incidence of myopia increases with level of education, and many studies have shown a correlation between myopia and a higher intelligence quotient (IQ)...
Heredity appears as an important factor associated with juvenile myopia, with smaller contributions from more near work, higher school achievement and less time in sports activity...
Many instances of myopic individuals have emerged in popular culture, though not always accurately. One such instance is in William Golding's Nobel Prize-winning novel Lord of the Flies, which features a character named Piggy who is very nearsighted, and as a result, wears thick glasses...
