To be fair, most people wearing glasses are exactly due to not being exposed to enough (natural!) sunlight when they are young.

It's the same thing with bracers and propensity to tooth decay. There are minor genetic factors involved but it's mostly due to the modern industrial lifestyle.

Where the heck do you get that from?

There has been quite a few studies done that show a connection to sunlight exposure in the young and eyesight quality outside of genetic variation

In many Asian countries this has been a long time issue of worsening eyesight due to increased in-door activities resulting in less sunlight exposure to eyes

Some other issues of reduced sunlight exposure are bone health, immune system health and mental health
