Nearsightedness tied to education level and reading habits
A study by Rosner and Belkin at Tel Hashomer Hospital links higher education years with increased myopia. Among nearsighted men with nine years of schooling, 23.3 percent had IQ 128 or higher, while those with 12 or more years showed a 19.7 percent myopia rate. Researchers note close work and reading may contribute to eye fatigue and myopia. Dr. Marmer adds constant focusing from close work is a factor.
