Abstract
Myopia is a visual impairment, a refractive error; it produces a different cost-benefit environment for visually-directed behavior compared to those without myopia. Myopia blurs faraway images but could it benefit smaller-scale visual tasks? If so, myopic participants may be faster and more accurate than controls at categorizing faces at distances
