    Josh,
    2 out of 3 is pretty good. They do vision screening in the pediatrician's office. It is better than a SNP. But, that being said....there is very little evidence behind "preventing" it. Perhaps there is early detection to prevent learning disabilities etc..... But I remain of skeptic of that one. Especially given the lack of replication and not the strongest OR.

    I remember hearing about some study that linked myopia with intelligence. Is anyone aware of that study (and can send me a link?)
