the quality of light we get each day and not just far-viewing is vital to healthy non-myopic vision. And to be clear: “quality” light = sunlight.
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
Why? It can offset myopia (near-sightedness) & development of myopia. How? Still unclear but it’s likely sunlight and far-viewing combined.
Several large scale studies indicate that spending time outdoors can offset the development of (and perhaps also partially reverse), myopia (near-sightedness).
So, try and get outside, it's really the sunlight and the blue light, right? Everyone's been demonizing blue light out there, but blue light is great provided it's not super, super bright and really close to your eyes. Blue is terrific if it comes from sunlight.
