Summary
This paper discusses the relationship between light exposure and the development of myopia, suggesting that increased daytime outdoor light exposure is associated with reduced myopia prevalence, while increased nighttime exposure to artificial light may be associated with increased myopia development.
Categories
Eye health: The paper discusses the impact of light exposure on the development of myopia, a common eye condition.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses how different types of light exposure (natural daylight, artificial light, constant light, constant darkness) can impact the development of myopia.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how light exposure can impact circadian rhythms, which are known to have effects on cognitive function and memory.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the potential roles of dopamine and melatonin, two hormones, in control of ocular growth and refractive development.
