This study shows that playing outside in daylight 14 hours a week can help lower the chances of developing myopia. As many have noted in the past, a substantial amount of time spent indoors and working up close are contributing factors for nearsightedness.

Here is a cool video about the process of making a prosthetic eye. I believe there is only one person that does this type of work in Southeastern Wisconsin.

Portland ocularist Fred Harwin's prosthetic eyeballs are tiny works of art that can change lives.

Here is the first myopia calculator I have ever come across that shows two things. First you input the child's current age and prescription. Then based on averages, it will estimate the level of myopia as an adult.
Second, it estimates the effect that certain anti myopia treatments can have over time. This is brilliant! Some of the treatment options are not approved in the US yet but I believe that will change over time.
