Smart people often myopia?

Recently, a study by German scientists has shown that the more intelligent people are, the more likely they are to get close. Myopia is an eye disease when your vision is blurred out of 2m. It is often caused by prolonged eyeballs when you are young.

Myopia has become a common disease worldwide in recent years. In the US, it affects more than 40% of the population. In the UK, this figure ranges from 20-30%. Meanwhile, in Asian countries, myopia rate has reached 80% with rapid growth.

This has led scientists to question whether environmental factors play an important role in this regard or because education and intelligence make the near-ratio high.

To try and find a link between intelligence and vision, researchers at the Mainz University Medical Center in Germany, Alireza Mirshahi, the lead author of the study, examined myopia levels in 4658 Germans. aged from 35 to 74.

As a result, 24% of nearsighted participants are those who do not attend high school or without any training. About 35% of nearsighted people are graduates of high schools and graduates of vocational schools. In particular, the proportion of near-college graduates accounted for more than half (53%).

The researchers also looked at the effects of 45 markers, but it also did not affect the level of strong nearsightedness with education.

The immediate and simple solution for this disease is that nearsighted people need to go out more often.

Over the past few years, studies of children and adolescents in Denmark and Asia show that the more time you spend outdoors and exposed to daylight, the less near-sighted you are.
