According to Wikipedia,
China has the highest myopia rates in the world: 400 million of its 1.3 billion people are myopic. The prevalence of myopia in high school in China is 77.3%, and in college is more than 80%.
In some areas, such as China, India and Malaysia, up to 41% of the adult population is myopic to −1.00 dpt, up to 80% to −0.5dpt.
And i may be wrong on this, but I do feel that the high percentage in China could be related to the diet they normally eat.
