The Influence of Study Habits on Myopia in Jewish Teenagers
Abstract
ABSTRACT The prevalence and degree of myopia were measured in 870 teenagers, males and females. We found a statistically significantly higher prevalence and degree of myopia in a group of 193 Orthodox Jewish male students who differed from the rest in their study habits. Orthodox schooling is characterized by sustained near vision and frequent changes in accommodation due to the swaying habit during study and the variety of print size. A possible myopic effect of this unique visual demand is postulated.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
