You "sourced" an irrelevant article for the topic of conversation.

Here's one: https://www.kidsorthok.com.au/what-causes-myopia.html

Here's two: https://www.optometrists.org/childrens-vision/guide-to-pediatric-eye-conditions/what-is-myopia/why-is-my-childs-myopia-worsening/

Here's a third and final https://www.aao.org/eye-health/diseases/myopia-control-in-children

These all day the same thing, environmental factors are at play on children, and the last two decades have seen a dramatic increase of myopia in children.

Now tell me, are you mature enough to admit when you're wrong, or are you going to be a bitch about it?

That specifically talks about eye exercises as adults, and nothing on the effects of (a lack of/ eye stimulation while growing up.

This is typical contrarianism, you pat yourself on the back for finding something tangentially relevant to the topic to dispute a claim.

If you do the opposite Google search, you'll find multiple articles and studies about the importance of eye stimulation in children. Myopia in children is and has been on the rise due to a lack of stimulation.

This finding is recorded in countries who started screening children for myopia years ago, and have statistics to back up that yes, we are indeed seeing increased myopia in children and thus the population in general.

This does not mean eye "exercises" work on adults. Which is what the Harvard article is about.

Which does actually work.

Kids won't get x-ray vision, but the increasing need for eye-correction is due to a lack of simulation of the eye muscles.

And lifting chairs will indeed give you "super" strength. In that it'll make you stronger and more coordinated.
