| Abstract | The purpose of my project is to create a heat map showing rates of myopia globally. I was inspired by researchers from Australia and China who determined that students with increased hours of outdoor activities had lower rates of myopia. My goal is to determine if regions of the world that receive higher amounts of sunlight have populations with lower rates of myopia. |
