Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Extensive scientific literature confirms that the development of myopia is driven by a combination of genetic predispositions and environmental factors, such as educational pressure, near work, and lack of outdoor time.

The analysis

Multiple comprehensive reviews, expert reports (such as from the International Myopia Institute), and genetic studies consistently demonstrate that myopia is a complex multifactorial condition caused by the interplay of genetic architecture and environmental exposures.
