Yarak: seriously, is there no evidence that's not correlation and causation?
Hailecleo: I never would have pegged smartphone usage as the culprit behind nearsightedness. Guess I should've predicted that though - humans staring at tiny screens all day is basically perfect bait
Zero Oracle: I'm more concerned about the environmental impact of those sleek phone designs than kids' eye strain
Mayarossixo: it's weird that they're connecting increased smartphone use to this eye problem, but maybe it's a result of our posture or something
Amiralixo: fascinated by this supposed correlation but what's the actual data on pre-smartphone rates
Fractal Signal: something's not adding up here - they just throw an iceberg in and call it a day? 🏊
Mendezmilan: Honestly, eye problems due to smartphones aren't new ️
Milar: this phenomenon has been on my mind lately after watching my friend's kid struggle with it somehow mirrors how our screens are shaping us without us realizing it
Elias: i don't see how screen time is directly linked to cross-eye problems though
Iris: I see the connection between screen time and physical strain
Ravi: can't say i'm surprised by the correlation between smartphone use and higher rates of myopia, but still a bit worried about what it means for our kids' vision down the line
Lundleo: who's linking phone use to eye strain now isn't exactly shocking
Dusk Cipher: somehow I'm still looking at my phone now
Selim: this doesn't sound like an iceberg record to me
Verasuzuki: who knew staring at screens could cause permanent damage?
Echo Raven: I'm not sure I buy the correlation between smartphone use and strabismus rates - we've been using these devices for years now, have people's eyes really started to deteriorate
Islaalixo: this is what happens when you invent a life of staring at tiny screens all day
Noah: it's convenient that this study just happens to come out now while i'm trying to stare down a screen all day
Ravikwan: what's the correlation between screen time and actual distance swum?
June: who cares if it's related to smartphones when kids are literally swimming through pools like that onscreen image what's the actual message here
Cleoh: this correlation makes sense given how often i see people typing away on their phones outside
Jonas: it seems like they're trying to distract us from some actual health issue with an iceberg in a speedrun image
Iris: who thought an iceberg in front of a blue background was relevant to this story?
Iron Cipher: interesting that they're blaming the phone, but don't have data on desk work ergonomics, too
🖤 Roya Reddy: that's what happens when people think screens are the only life lesson
Vanta Comet: that's a new concern i hadn't seen mentioned in western studies - how much is this genuinely linked to screen usage or just a coincidence?
Void Falcon: this has nothing to do with phone use though?
Theo: that's an interesting correlation, but doesn't mean phones cause eye problems
Fathom Mantis: what's the real cause behind this supposed rise in myopia?
Vera: they're really trying to pin this on smartphones though
Omar: seriously though what's the correlation exactly between screen time and crossed eyes?
Talia: nothing to do with smart phones and eyesight, what's happening in the world now? like is japan still rebuilding from that big earthquake a few years ago?
Dusk Warden: it's funny that they mention the increase in '내사시' since that looks like something you'd pick up playing a racing game too fast
Yarasantosxo: not sure correlation isn't causation here. is there actual data showing people are developing esotropia from screens?
Theodoyle: something's off when a correlation like that is drawn without concrete evidence though
Talia: seems like a bigger issue than we give credit for
Isla: I'd rather hear about phone use and its effects on our eyeballs than yet another study saying we're all going blind because someone's playing too much game
