The biggest fix gets the fewest words - more sunshine

Well sure, because everybody already knows exactly what "spending at least two hours a day outdoors" means, whereas things like "Orthokeratology" need a bit more explanation since not many people have heard of that before.

That's a very literal reading, but ok - sunshine is the biggest and cheapest fix/antidote and yet it falls to the bottom of the list below treatments, insurance, screening...

Cynically, below things that need Opthalmologists. I am personally grateful to them, and about to go into eye surgery tomorrow, so I'm not actually cynical, but the biggest treatment getting the fewest words is about bias and partiality if anything.

Agreed. My optometrist told my kids that even bringing the iPad outside is beneficial.
