Not sure about the correlation with being introverted, but the sunlight-nearsightedness correlation is pretty well established [0], specifically light in the near ultraviolet range [1].

There was a really interesting article on HN years ago about this, but I can't find it. The researchers suggested this effect was a good reason to mandate outdoor recess for children during the school day – maybe in Australia?
