As one meta-analysis put it:
It’s estimated that an increase of one hour per day of outdoor time could reduce the occurrence of myopia in children by 45%.
Make sure your kids spend time outside, folks!

I’ve seen that too, with some emphasis put on viewing the horizon… though where I grew up it’s very unlikely to see anything close to horizon-distance without being at a beach (mostly because trees… better than indoors sure but not much non-treetop distance to look at unless you’re looking across a field/farmland, or maybe a radio/water tower or something).
It would be interesting to see if people who live im these sorts of areas have higher rates of myopia. I’m not aware of any data that’s been collected on this though
