TL;DR Summary: Research links longer education with myopia, but this does not show that a particular classroom screen caused a child’s short-sightedness. Support learning alongside outdoor opportunities, comfortable near work and appropriate eye care. School participation should continue while visual concerns are assessed.

TL;DR Summary: Myopia forecasts describe population scenarios, not a certainty that everyone will become short-sighted. The widely cited 2016 model projected roughly half the population by 2050. Individual risk and care cannot be read directly from a global projection.
