That explains why the JSDF pilot eyesight standards seem to be slowly slipping...

Well I have it, not really a bad condition except for glasses being bloody expensive.

I read in some war book that the Japanese high white rice diet contributed to them needing glasses a lot. I think it was Shots Fired In Anger by John George. But I looked up Myopia and there is nothing to correlate that statement.

Found out I have it a month ago. Doctor said I was born with it so no regrets.
It's not severe though, since the doctor asked me how's vision and I was  PERFECT... and then she put lenses on and I was

Interesting that it's on the rise...
 Surely too much tv/games could contribute to this as well? With kids being up too close to a screen and such Just thinking out loud on this one...As Rilder said, it's not such a bad condition. I've had it since I was in Year 2-3. Glasses are pretty pricey especially if you add in the extras like the transition lens (which I always get).  (Mum's Long Sighted, think kid bro's slightly myopic already, 2nd bro wears glasses/contacts. It was in fact when he let me try his glasses that I found out)
