Do we know if it's related to the UV spectrum of the light(e.g. is this equivalent to sunlight's properties w/r to vitamin D), or is the eye exposure mostly about the visible spectrum?

Low vitamin D level was my first thought when I read the "outside light" and it looks like it could be related:

"myopia was significantly higher in individuals with vitamin D deficiency": http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24970253

Or maybe people that don't get enough outside light tend to have lower vitamin D?
