He is saying that, given a baby and the proper conditions, he could make that baby into whatever kind of person he (Watson) wished. He asserts that all individual behavior is learned, that it is a product of external forces acting on the individual.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
