Are Our Eyes Degenerating Contrary to Belief
An analysis argues the human eye today is not weaker than in the past, but modern life imposes greater strain. It notes higher glasses usage reflects increased education and close work, with refractive errors common across races and even animals. The piece cites Carlisle Indian students and a Bronx Zoo study to illustrate universal eye irregularities.
