More Time Outdoors May Reduce Kids’ Risk for Nearsightedness
aao.org — “ORLANDO, Fla. – A new analysis of recent eye health studies shows that more time spent outdoors is related to reduced rates of nearsightedness, also known as myopia, in children and adolescents. Myopia is much more common today in the United States and many other countries than it was in the 1970s. In parts of Asia, more than 80 percent of the population is nearsighted. The analysis suggests that more exposure to natural light and/or time spent looking at distant objects may be key factors. Toda” View full resource at aao.org

Sending kids outdoors for play could protect their vision, study finds - Daily Dose: A Boston Globe blog with health news, advice, and information.
boston.com — “The benefits kids reap from fresh air and outdoor play have been extolled time and again by pediatric experts to curb obesity, foster creativity, and, well, reduce crankiness -- in both children and their parents. But now researchers think that outdoor activity might also reduce a child’s chances of needing glasses to see things at a distance. They found that every additional hour kids spent outdoors playing per week was associated with an 18 percent lower risk of nearsightedness.” View full resource at boston.com
