It’s estimated that an increase of one hour per day of outdoor time could reduce the occurrence of myopia in children by 45%.

Make sure your kids spend time outside, folks!

    There are studies that just look at outdoor time. I don’t think we know the specific mechanism but we know enough to have recommendations.
