Resumo

• Although there is evidence that outdoor activity is an important factor involved in the development of childhood refractive error,1,2 the mechanism underlying the association between more outdoor activity and less myopia in childhood is not clear. • In this prospective longitudinal study, the relationship between objectively measured ambient light exposure and eye growth in childhood was examined.
