Wow, this is the first Hacker News post I've seen where someone actually understands myopia, emmetropization, and peripheral defocus. Every other post on myopia is filled with people guessing their own random nonsense about Bates, wearing underpowered lenses, and outdoor light. Completely unifnored. I also had no idea about the relative blur of different color wavelengths. I wonder if that's related to the possible "toxic" effect of blue LED light on the macula.

I've installed your Chrome extension and I'm eager to learn more. It's too late for my vision, but it's still getting worse for me in middle age, so I'm very interested in the state of the art based in real science.
