Abstract:
Abstract:The prevalence of myopia among children and adolescents in China remains high. Currently, the prevention and control of myopia among children and adolescents has risen to the level of national health strategy and has attracted extensive attention from the society. Although the role of outdoor activities in preventing myopia is significant, it also has many limitations. Therefore, it is necessary to explore more effective methods for comprehensive intervention. Based on current evidence, in addition to ongoing investigatation of the role of daytime outdoor activities in myopia prevention, emerging controllable environmental and behavioral factors, e.g. increase of indoor high frequency visual information, regulation of sleep and biological rhythm and dietary supplement of polyunsaturated fatty acids ω-3, warrents further attention and active transformation into appropriate technologies for myopia prevention and control.
