RE: Time Spent Indoors Linked to Increased Risk of Myopia in Children
Interesting... I spent plenty of time outdoors, but the rest of the time I was in my room with my nose buried in a book; my nearsightedness became fairly acute by the time I was in my mid-20's. I also remember my mother telling me I would "ruin my eyes" from reading by flashlight under the covers after "lights out;" maybe she intuitively knew something.
Reality displays truth. "Wives tales" can often be right. Experiences of causal interaction can conclude something with certain degrees of accuracy. People seeing the past result of certain behavior leads to a repetition of something in reality (that being nearsightedness) as a certain degree of reliable truth, despite it not being "measured" in a more rigorous way like with science, but all the instances recurring is a measurement in reality of a pattern repeating that we can recognize. Just wanted to add that. So yes, the underlying logical processing at an automatic intuitive level can recognize this, or also blind tradition of repeating what parents said form someone who once recognized the pattern and started saying it hehee.
