Eye Sight - How Can You Tell What it Is

[malkin]

I can't tell what it is, I only know it ain't what it used to be.

In a primitive life, I'd be able to hold and rock small children. I'd go ahead and lose my hearing too (and a little bit of my mind), so crying wouldn't bother me.

PHILADELPHIA -- Infants who sleep at night in a bedroom with a light on may be at higher risk for nearsightedness later in childhood. A collaborative study by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center and The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia found that children who slept with either a room light or night light on until age 2 were more likely to later develop myopia (nearsightedness), compared to children who slept in darkness. Graham E. Quinn, M.D., a pediatric ophthalmologist at Children's Hospital, and Richard A. Stone, M.D., of Penn's Scheie Eye Institute, announced their findings in the May 13 issue of Nature.

Hm, I seem to remember reading about these results way back when, and then later hearing they were flawed, as near-sighted children were more likely to have night lights on in their bedrooms in the first place. Maybe this is a new study?
