The increasing myopia especially in asia is linked to heavy mobil phone and other near distance usage from early childhood up. So the growing eye becomes adjusted to work best in 10 cm distance. Why children are not recomended to wear reading glasses with positive refraction ? Use a +3 diotrie glass when using phone or reading in books prevent children to get myopia. As simple as this is, it is not discussed anywhere.
