Early Detection and Prevention of Myopia in Children | Chapter 13 | Current Approaches in Science and Technology Research Vol. 14

Childhood myopia is a key predictor of progressive myopia and the potentially severe ocular co morbidities associated with it, according to our understanding of the dynamic relationship between the eye's growth and its ability to adjust to retain vision. Myopia has become more common in recent years all around the world. According to previous research, the fastest developing phase for adolescent myopia is between the ages of 9 and 16. In addition to hereditary variables, the environment plays a significant role in the development of myopia. Previous research has shown that parental myopia, even in just one parent, increases the likelihood of juvenile myopia. In order to design a better preventative and treatment plan, we must first gain a better understanding of this process and its risk factors. The epidemiology, risk factors, and current therapy regimens for minimising myopic development will be discussed in this article [1].
