The World Is Going Blind. Taiwan Offers a Warning, and a Cure
27th June 2024
So many people are nearsighted on the island nation that they have already glimpsed what could be coming for the rest of us.
My own family is a case in point. My older brother, born during WWII, has good natural eyesight; I and my younger brother, born and raised in the 1950s, were strongly nearsighted. My earliest memory is of being in a classroom and not being able to read what was on the blackboard not ten feet from where I sat.
