Very simple, studies all confirm that people who spend more time outdoors have better eyesight at youth (avoids myopia) and health (exercise), use sunscreen (avoid skin cancer). No need to speculate more.




No, it’s not very simple.

I’ve spent on average 15 hours outside as a kid, still -6. So take all those “studies” with a grain of salt, they might be not applicable to you.


It is very simple. You can't expect to be the average member of every cohort you are part of.

True. And same applies to everything in life, so just because some article says "sun is good for you all" doesn't mean you won't end up dying from skin cancer.

But is that cause or correlation?

Kids with bad sight or health might be more drawn to indoor pursuits.
