Investigating the Trajectories of Poor Vision in Children and Adolescents in Wuhan, China From 2016 to 2019: Prospective Cohort Study

Investigating the Trajectories of Poor Vision in Children and Adolescents in Wuhan, China From 2016 to 2019: Prospective Cohort Study

One systematic review and meta-analysis indicated that approximately one-third of children and adolescents were affected by myopia worldwide, and the number was projected to 740 million by 2050 [6] . Another review reported the prevalence of poor vision in children and adolescents as 7.26%, 7.34%, and 2.91% based on uncorrected visual acuity, presenting visual acuity and best corrected visual acuity, respectively, with refractive errors being the most common cause [7].

Evaluating the Effectiveness and Scalability of the World Health Organization MyopiaEd Digital Intervention: Mixed Methods Study

Evaluating the Effectiveness and Scalability of the World Health Organization MyopiaEd Digital Intervention: Mixed Methods Study

After a 6-month intervention, 133 parents who completed both pre- and postintervention survey were evaluated, consisting of 60 parents of children with myopia and 73 parents of children without myopia. The mean age of parents of children with myopia was 40.38 (SD 2.91) years, and the mean age of parents of children without myopia was 39.52 (SD 3.94) years (Table 1).

Assessment of Eye Care Apps for Children and Adolescents Based on the Mobile App Rating Scale: Content Analysis and Quality Assessment

Children and adolescents are currently facing complex and serious health challenges, such as obesity, myopia, and anxiety and depression [1,2]. Children and adolescents represent the future of society; thus, more attention should be paid to their growth and development. Nearsightedness has been recognized as the most common eye disorder among children and adolescents [3]. Patients with shortsightedness experience blurred vision at a distance.

Neural Network–Based Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Profile Compensation for Glaucoma Diagnosis in Myopia: Model Development and Validation

Neural Network–Based Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Profile Compensation for Glaucoma Diagnosis in Myopia: Model Development and Validation

Due to irregularities in the refractive error and shape of the posterior part of the globe and due to high myopia-associated morphological changes in the macular region, perimetric defects lose their specificity for glaucoma and can have a multitude of causes, in addition to glaucomatous optic nerve damage [6].

High myopia and amblyopia are 2 major causes of vision impairment, with roots and traits in childhood [1,2]. Compared to other vision disorders, such as glaucoma and macular degradation, the primary risk factors for these 2 disorders are more diagnosable [3]: refractive error can be tracked for both myopia and amblyopia [4]. Additionally for amblyopia, the presence of strabismus can be watched for [5].
