The publication is well thought out globally and the results are very relevant in the field of visual hygiene in the population.
The results must always be seen globally and it must be clear in which populations they have been carried out, but there are a large number of publications and studies that demonstrate the relationship between myopia, genetic load and the reduction of outdoor activities.
In conclusion, it is important to emphasise that the increase in myopia is associated with genetic and environmental factors, where it is essential that leisure time should be spent outdoors and the use of screens should be limited.
