Myopie

Myopia is another word for myopia. It means you need glasses with ming glasses to be able to see sharply in the distance. Myopia is caused by hereditary factors and / or lifestyle factors. Lifestyle factors that can lead to myopia, or myopia progression, include doing many short-reading activities, such as reading, and little exposure to daylight, such as playing outside. With the help of this app it can be investigated whether a lot of smartphone use at a short reading distance gives an increased risk of myopia progression.
