Experts point out that the overuse of screens and decline in outdoor activity are some of the factors behind the rise of the condition which, if not corrected, increases the risk of blindness

    It’s lack of sun, kids who grow up with a lack of adequate sunlight exposure have increased risk of myopia.

    It’s not screens, at least not directly, but indirectly since they keep kids inside more.
