INSIGHT

Pandemic Lifestyles Rapidly Worsened Vision

  • COVID lockdowns created a 'perfect storm' for eyesight decline via less outdoor time, more screens, poor lighting and increased stress.
  • Early studies reported dramatic drops in vision within months: adults 55% decline, teens 78% during initial lockdowns.
INSIGHT

Lifestyle Not Genes Drive Myopia Epidemics

  • Historical and cross-generation data show lifestyle, not genetics, drives myopia epidemics.
  • Example: Inuit elders had good vision, their children developed myopia after schooling and urban lifestyle changes across generations.
ADVICE

Protect Eyes While Using Screens

  • When using screens, blink frequently and take active breaks: every ~20 minutes look at least six meters away for 20 seconds to relax focusing muscles.
  • Place a window near your workstation, remove glasses during far-look breaks, and consciously widen peripheral vision to avoid tunnel vision.
