Abstract:
Myopia is the most common eye disease occurring in children and adolescents. As the prevalence rates of myopia and high myopia have increased yearly, the number of individuals with low vision and blindness caused by high myopia and its complications has gradually increased. However, the mechanisms underlying the occurrence and development of myopia are currently unclear. The existing intervention methods include optical and drug measures. This article summarizes the measures implemented for the prevention and control of myopia in recent years and discusses the research progress of drug interventions for myopia, considering the aspects of clinical and animal trials.
