I think it reads better if I swap round the two paragraphs in the near-work section.
(→Near Work Induced Myopia: still tinkering. Is "natural" an appropriate term here ? Is the stuff about 20-20-20 rule relevant here ? perhaps it should be on the pseudomyopia page ? the references are already on the 20-20-20-rule page) |

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 [[20/20 eyesight]] finds comfortable, whether that acuity is "natural" (before your first pair of glasses) or with-correction. | |||
