We don't need data provided by eyes that have had decades-worth of cell-phone screen-time exposure. There's nothing new there. There's more than enough data to know right now. And in my opinion, the silence on actual scientific evidence supporting "damage" is quite deafening.
You would think that there would be studies/historical data?

I looked at this page:

From 2000 to 2010, low vision increased from 2,359 to 2908, 23%.

The US population increased from 282 to 309, 10% (this is from a different page).

So the discrepancy is attributed to other things like obesity, diabetes, ...?
