m (just reformatting the source. Should have no effect on the layout of the output. (I don't use the editor gui thing - maybe it's more manageable in that, but when there are lots of references, editing is just a pain.)

It is arguable if near work induced myopia is the same mechanism as lens induced myopia.  Both are cases where you are doing work closer than your corrected vision is designed to do, but obviously near work induced myopia can happen before the first pair of glasses, and the term is more heavily associated with [[Pseudomyopia]].  Many optometrists recommend the [[20-20-20 rule]] to prevent eye strain,<ref name="American Optometric Association 20-20-20 rule poster">
