Children of a Thailand tribe who see with clarity beneath the waves (2016)

I'm nearsighted, but as a kid I had an enormous range of focus with my eyes. I could rest my finger at the end of my nose and clearly see the whorls in my fingerprint. I could feel the muscles in the front of my eye contracting when I did this.

That went away over time, even as my prescription became much more nearsighted (I'm almost 9 diopters now)

I'm as nearsighted. I can still focus up close, without any corrective lenses. I'm 41.

I do have less near focus with corrective lenses.
