Can't find it right now, but there was a retweet by longevity scientist David Sinclair about a study in mice that exposure to UV-C could potentially reverse aging (and myopia) of the eyes.

I'll edit if I find the reference.

What I do is regularly go for a walk in the sun for up to half an hour without wearing glasses or contacts. If it doesn't work, I'll be getting a good dose of vitamin D in any case.

As far as I understand it, David Sinclair lost all credibility when he was invited to debate scientists in real life and refuse. The rate at which he spins up companies is also a bit alarming. This is as someone who would love for what he is preaching to turn out to be true.

He was retweeting a study that was not his own. I'll look it up.

edit :

here's the study : https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2018840118

here's DS's retweet : https://twitter.com/davidasinclair/status/145775319654643712...

I misrepresented DS's retweet comment and it is not as spectacular as I made it seem. In any case, intresting.
