Abstract: Abstract:Myopia is becoming a global public health problem, the prevalence of myopia among Chinese children and adolescents is high. The nature and nurture etiologies of myopia have been debated for a long time, and current evidence suggests that behavioral and environmental factors are the main causes of myopia in children and adolescents. Challenges in research on behavioral risk factors include cross sectional design, as well as limited longitudinal and intervention. Therefore, future studies need to highlight cohorts study and intervention study, and bring in implementation research to evaluate the significance of application, so as to bridge gaps between research evidence and practice for prevention and control of myopia.
