Why is there still no cure for this?
I don't mean lasik or implanted lenses that only addresses the symptom but rather the means to address the core problem and shorten the eye itself.

Working as intended.
Myopia is so common because people is using their eyes incorrectly.
Please explain how to use eyes correctly, no one ever taught me.

> Among the numerous strategies implemented to slow the progression of myopia, longer time spent outdoors has come to be recognized as a protective factor against this disorder. Although our understanding of the protective effects of outdoor time has increased in the past decade, considerably more research is needed to understand the mechanisms of action. Here, we summarize the main potential factors associated with the protective effects against myopia of increased outdoor time, namely, exposure to elevated levels and shorter wavelengths of light, and increased dopamine and vitamin D levels.

Thank you. I'll read the article in due time.
But taken from the summary, it's basically fun outdoor activities that lead to working eyes? Makes sense. I remember I developed bad eyesight when I started gaming and not going outside as often.
>it's basically fun outdoor activities that lead to working eyes
yes
Being indoor and reading a screen 16/7 isn't healthy, not necessary the only cause but maladaptation to that situation seems to be the most common cause.
Connect the fricking dots
>doing stuff outside
helps because they eye focusing on different things at different distances all the time.
>developed bad eyesight when I started gaming and not going outside as often
Use it or lose it. Like any muscle
>Err on the side of under-prescription.
Thus keeping the eyes working instead of being lazy.
Laugh all you want at that eyepatch eye training method but it 95% in line with anything you will find in papers such as the one in
The eye patch insures both eyes are trained instead of the worse eye being lazy and the strong one doing all the lifting.
Looking at many different things might help training the "auto focus" of the brain.
>protective factor
Says nothing about reverting or curing effects.
>more research is needed to understand the mechanisms of action
>potential factors
TN: We don't know.
>Says nothing about reverting or curing effects.
Neither cancer. Nobody is reverting or "curing" cancer.
Surgery and chemotherapy destroys those cells or avoid their multiplication for long enough.
Avoid near work that fills your field of view. Avoid reading dark text on light background. Don't use minus lenses during near work. Err on the side of under-prescription.
That's about it.
Conditional myopia isn't caused as your picture shows.
Instead the eye elongates.
is 100% right
If you were to balance out your viewing distances, get enough UV light, vitamin D and a proper diet, then it would mostly reverse over the course of a few months to years.
Of course this won't happen if you use vision aids like glasses and it'll get worse if you use those in front of your screen.
However, if you didn't have myopia you would get constant headaches from screen usage.
So, no, it's not a disease, just a maladaptation.
>However, if you didn't have myopia you would get constant headaches from screen usage.
Can you expand on this?
Many in my family have myopia but i am the only one that doesn't have it or any vision problems despite being hours in front of the PC daily since i have 4 (currently 25) and i sometimes get headaches
It's because of poorly grown orbits, which is from lead deficiency.
is this why myopia correlates with IQ
Sort of. The tests are made to give very high scores to schizos.
It probably has the opposite direction of cause and effect, as underfed people lack energy, suffer more from elements and the brain damage often comes before the myopia, so they may get easily lost or confused outside.
Which is to say that they aren't exercising their muscles.
>Wanting a cure for a biologically adapted advantage
what's the advantage?
Anti aliasing
It's a built-in microscope to see small things. Severe myopia can often function as a 3x multiplier for seeing fine details. Professional israeliteelers, for example, can see diamonds about 5-10 cm from their eyes, meaning they can see certain engravings ordinary men would need a magnifying glass to see. Clear distant vision isn't needed
glasses industry makes too much money off of it.
actual cause is a genetically modified polio virus that attacks the eyes
>why is there no cure for not being able to place your hands flat on the floor while standing with straight legs
>I don't mean leg shortening surgery or tendon extending surgery
If only there was another way to solve this issue.
the cure is stop staring at a computer screen all day and go outside
no one knows exactly why the eye keeps growing past emmetropization, so it's hard to find a cure just by chance. i think the most widely accepted theory is about peripheral image shells, but it doesnt explain it all since going outside for 20hours a week reduces myopia onset (doesnt help with preventing progression) significantly.
One hypothesis is that myopia is caused by a lack of blue light, and that outdoor activities help not so much by looking at distant objects as the presence of a bright blue sky.
I've dropped 1 sphere and .25 cylinder from my prescription in ~8 months.

No you have not. You are making shit up on an image board to shill your pseudoscientific nonsense. Nobody is buying your shit Jake. Frick off.
Sweet i have a friend with myopia, i will mention this to him later thanks!
