Obviously outdoor play will increase Vitamin-D synthesis in children.
There are even more research papers that link Myopia to low serum levels of 25(OH)D due to inadequate Vitamin-D.
A search for "Myopia Vitamin-D" on Google scholar, Pub-Med or Google traditional will find many published papaers that support a mention here of the simple remedy of increasing serum levels to reduce the prevalence.

To the editor Ruslik0: Please refrain from deleting the latest and most important references to knowledge and comprehensive reviews published by renowned authors in prestigious journals. You are doing a disservice to the readers and the general public. This article about myopia needs a lot of improvement. Please do help, do not obstruct knowledge and science. 2601:647:5580:D20:5066:AD09:92B2:211 ( talk) 17:41, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Emmetropization is a concern for children/teenagers, since they are growing bodily. So, yeah, staying too close to their mobile phones instead of playing outside produces myopia in children—that's endorsed by eye doctors, so it's not controversial. But that is rendered a non sequitur for the adult eye. And if there is any emmetropization in adults, it is a slow process wherein slightly myopic people become emmetropic. Nothing too spectacular. It happens that at age 40 you don't need reading glasses, since being slightly myopic counts as natural reading glasses, but at 60 you do need reading glasses. tgeorgescu ( talk) 02:49, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
This article focuses far too much on causes of something that is inadequately described It is important for a physics textbook description to be more paramount. The third paragraph of the intro is woo. The fourth paragraph of the intro mistakes increased detection for increased incidence. The causes section is suspiciously eugenicist, and completely wrong.

The result of the move request was: Moved to Myopia. Per consensus, WP:MEDTITLE applies here. ( closed by non-admin page mover) – robertsky ( talk) 18:57, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
Near-sightedness → Nearsightedness – This term is used more often without that hyphen than with the hypen. See this ngram. Move per WP:COMMONNAME. – Treetoes023 ( talk) 03:56, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
