Did everyone miss my point? I didn't grow up stuck inside so often, I spent a LOT of time outdoors. Hell, the first book I ever read was a survival manual.

I even learned to drive a stick shift at age 7, before I even got glasses. So I still stand by the opinion that indoor vs outdoor environment makes fuckall nothing to do with nearsightedness.

You're either born with it or you aren't. It's all about the shape of the eye.

I spent more time outdoors than indoors.

    I mean, I don't know how much simpler I can make it. You can be born without a hand or lose it in an accident, same as you, you can be born with bad eyesight or develop it because of external factors, doesn't mean that we shouldn't mitigate the external factors.

    Again, did you miss my point? Apparently so, I grew up outdoors. I learned to drive a stick shift and learned how to shoot a gun before I even had glasses.

    That doesn't mean it was appropriate the ways they taught me, but still I was an outdoors kid, I wasn't stuck in a fucking room..

    But I was still literally born nearsighted.
