Near-sighted cell discovered in retina
Researchers have discovered a cell in the retina which may control the growth of the eyeball and the cause of myopia. It also seems that indoor light might stimulate this cell to increase the amount of nearsightedness one develops. This contributes to the observation that kids that spend more time outdoors tend to be less nearsighted.
