The time since our first publication in 2007 describing time spent outdoors as protective for juvenile myopia onset to clinical trials incorporating outdoor light interventions has been short. The time outdoors/myopia example highlights the incorporation of clinical or epidemiologic evidence to translational research that may eventually change clinical practice and/or behavior.
