On the other hand, the life of today is very much different from the life in the past - just to mention the changed environment at work and the changed nutrition. According to this view the main results which were reported by researchers and practitioners for prevention and treatment of myopia are outlined in this paper in a very unbiased and neutral way making it a short encyclopedia of myopia , and only in a separate chapter it is tried to find some common patterns for these results. The idea, to find just one mechanism for myopia and to solve this problem once and forever sounds very tempting, and quite some authors are giving the impression that they are very close to this target, and that most of the promoters of other theories and observations are wrong. Today, however, very many people are becoming myopic without myopic parents or grandparents.

About the author Klaus Schmid I am a physicist by education and became interested in myopia because of the severe shortsighted-ness of my children — without myopic ancestors.

A special motivation was also the experience from my "professional life" that really neutral and unbiased views are rather rare, but highly demanded by the "clients".
