Myopia

ABSTRACT

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is the most common refractive error in children and young adults.[1] Myopia has increasingly become a concern due to the unawareness and stigma among parents.[2] Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has added to the previous woes. The prolonged use of digital screens among children has increased the incidence of myopia and accelerated its progression.[3] Indeed, the incidence and prevalence of myopia have increased considerably.
