I would love a couple of answers on the topic of ophthalmology (precisely myopia) from anons familiar with this area, since I keep finding colliding info on Google.

>Is myopia only genetical and natural (by natural I mean you don't have to inherit it to still be born with the ability to develop myopia)?

>Does acquired myopia only happen in people who were already predispositioned to be able to develop it?

>Is continuous blurred vision from eye strain myopia in development or just a consequence of eye strain? (to rephrase, does eye strain develop into myopia, or does it merely manifest itself as myopia (blurred vision) and will go away once the eye strain is gone and eye vision in that case will return to its initial state)

>Can eye strain become permanent?


My parent is myopic, but I've never had vision problems (perfect vision) until recently when my eyes became strained and I don't know if that's my hereditary myopia showing just now or just a result of eye strain and my vision can return to the way it was.

Couple of pieces of research in recent years, correlation with eating wheat in childhood; correlation with having a light on while sleeping at night; correlation with spending time indoors.

Ad 1 and 2, no.
There was a clear spike in myopia when more people learned to read.

Ad 3 and 4, I dunno.

Okay, just to counter you with what I read before, there has been a spike in myopia development when people started getting educated since rich folks were able to afford both eye exams and education, so it makes sense that there is a correlation between those, and then again there are studies which say that there isn't a direct correlation between reading up close and developing myopia.

Summary, rich folks were able to afford education and eye exams, so that is where the high relation comes from.

Again, I am just repeating what I read on the webs..
