Interesting, it seems really likely that more light indoors should be good. Do you have a reference, a scientific study on the topic? Thanks!

Here's a couple from a random search for the convenience of the forum:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29371008/

https://reviewofmm.com/light-as-a-tool-for-myopia-control/

I can't find the site that I read a while ago, it was very similar to the myticker.com site that was posted the other day for heart disease but focused on myopia.

Thanks for sharing this! I've never heard of this research, but it sounds very promising.

I also found this Guardian article from a Google search: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/01/shortsighted-t...

It's difficult for artificial light to compete with full-spectrum natural daylight from an infinitely distant light source (sun). See previous attempts at sunlight simulation indoors.
