Abstract

Quinn et al. report a strong association between myopia in children and their exposure to night-time lighting during their first two years. We have been unable to confirm this surprising result, but we find that myopic parents are more likely to employ night-time lighting aids for their children. Moreover, there is an association between myopia in parents and their children.
