    You aren’t born with adult sized eyes. Your eyes grow as you grow, and their growth appears to be regulated by how they’re used. It’s covered in the article, maybe read it?

      No shit Watson. It’s still all about the shape and proportions of the eye, not the size. Anyone with myopia can literally push their eyes in gently via the eyelids and see a bit better.

      Your eyes don’t get longer from being indoors, you’re either born with longer than normal eyes or you aren’t. Some are even born with shorter eyes, called hyperopia (also better known as farsightedness).

          And yes, I also have 42 years of actual real life experience with myopia. What the fuck a scientist gonna tell you if they haven’t literally lived and experienced bad nearsighted eyes?

          Yes, I do take that stance, and I always will. Those dumb fucks declared me deaf for the first 8 years of my life.

          I heard them just fine, I just couldn’t see their lips moving.
