About the Book
In his groundbreaking book, In Dark Times, Nicholas Humphrey takes us on a journey through the heart of myopia, a condition that affects over 2 billion people worldwide. Humphrey argues that myopia is not simply a physical condition, but a cultural one, and that it is on the rise due to our increasingly screen-based lifestyles.

Humphrey begins by exploring the history of myopia, from its first appearance in ancient Greece to its explosion in prevalence in the 20th century. He shows how myopia has been shaped by factors such as literacy, education, and social class, and how it has been both a source of stigma and a source of empowerment.
Humphrey then turns his attention to the science of myopia, explaining how it is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. He discusses the latest research on myopia control, and provides practical advice on how to prevent and treat the condition.
In Dark Times is a fascinating and thought-provoking book that will change the way you think about myopia. It is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the history, science, and culture of vision.
