Myopia is progressing faster than its management options

The Pan-American Journal of Ophthalmology, 2022
Myopia, as the most common source of distance vision impairment in the world, is a serious global public health and socioeconomic crisis. Although more than half of the world population will be myopic by 2050, none of the myopia control strategies has ...

Genome-wide analysis points to roles for extracellular matrix remodeling, the visual cycle, and neuronal development in myopia [PDF]

, 2012
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is the most common eye disorder, resulting primarily from excess elongation of the eye. The etiology of myopia, although known to be complex, is poorly understood. Here we report the largest ever genome-wide association study (

Myopes have significantly higher serum melatonin concentrations than non-myopes [PDF]

, 2017
Purpose Experimental animal models of myopia demonstrate that higher melatonin (Mel) and lower dopamine (DA) concentrations actively promote axial elongation.

Myopia control in the 21st century: A review of optical methods (2000–2019)

African Vision and Eye Health, 2020
Background: Without appropriate interventions, simple or low myopia can progressively get worse and lead to high myopia. Patients with high myopia are at a greater risk of developing retinal detachment, myopic macular degeneration, glaucoma and eventual ...

Association between sleep duration and myopia among Chinese children during the COVID-19 pandemic: A cross-sectional study

Frontiers in Public Health, 2023
BackgroundThe studies on the association between sleep duration and myopia are limited, and the evidence is inconsistent. This study aimed to evaluate the association between sleep duration and myopia, cycloplegic spherical equivalent (SE) and axial ...

Reduced Radial Peripapillary Capillary in Pathological Myopia Is Correlated With Visual Acuity

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
PurposeTo quantify the radial peripapillary capillary (RPC) density and the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) thickness in pathological myopia and examine associations among these factors and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA).MethodsThe ...

Time outdoors and the prevention of myopia [PDF]

, 2015
Recent epidemiological evidence suggests that children who spend more time outdoors are less likely to be, or to become myopic, irrespective of how much near work they do, or whether their parents are myopic.

Changes in forward light scatter parameters as a function of refractive error in young adults [PDF]

, 2020
Background/aims Some aspects of visual performance worsen with increasing myopia. Whilst the underlying causes are not always clear, reduction in retinal image quality is often attributed to structural changes in the posterior myopic eye.

New Spectacles for Myopia Control

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2022
Two recent randomized clinical trials have shown good results slowing myopia progression in children with DIMS (Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments) and HALT (Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target) spectacles. In these spectacles, the lenslets are located around a clear 9 mm central zone for distance vision.
