Are outdoor exposure patterns associated with #myopia development in kids? Yes, according to researchers at Tongji University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University Science Park (Shangrao) Co., Ltd. They equipped more than 2,900 children with smartwatches and found that spending 15 minutes outdoors daily with sunlight intensity of at least 2000 lux may prevent or lessen myopia.
