- Abstract: Abstract:Myopia is the most common eye disease among children and adolescents. The incidence rate is not only high but also increasing by year, especially in East Asia and Southeast Asia, including China, which has become a serious public health problem all over the world. Myopia can not only lead to vision loss, even blindness, but also associate with serious psychological problems. This can start a vicious cycle without further interventions. This article introduces the research progress in this field in order to arouse the attention of researchers and relevant departments.
