A doctor has provided 1 answer

No relationship: Myopia is increasing at a rapid pace. The reason is unknown but some blame computer use. There is no proven link. I don't think Microsoft employees have a higher incidence of eye problems. Some also think not being outdoors has contributed to this. Most with myopia will get a gradual increase until their mid twenties. But with a start at age 11, she will not get too extreme.
