Tips for keeping your eyes healthy and not developed nearsightedness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not much: Picking the right parents would be the highest on the list. Avoid occupation where long stretches of near work or study is required (eg md's). If you can't become a forest ranger and want to do a lot of studying, take frequent breaks.
