Objective:The purpose of the study was to describe the prevalence of myopia and to explore the associated factors of myopia among Han and Yi students aged 5-16 years in Yunnan province, China.Methods:A total of 5 971 Han and Yi students were included in the data analysis from the Yunnan eye study which was conducted from March to August, 2014. Information regarding demographic factors, socioeconomic status and lifestyle-related exposures were collected by per-designed questionnaires. The ophthalmic examinations including distance visual acuity, anterior segment examination, cycloplegic auto-refraction, and ocular motility examination were conducted. Logistic regression models were fitted to estimate the risk factors for myopia.Results:The age of 5 971 subjects was (10.68±2.24)years old, and the total prevalence of myopia and high myopia was 48.05% and 0.59%. Myopia prevalence was found to be higher in Han students compared with Yi ethnicity (50.20% vs. 47.10%, P=0.029). In multivariate analysis, the occurrence of myopia was associated with age ( OR=1.28, 95% CI: 1.25-1.31), girls ( OR=1.32, 95% CI: 1.18-1.48), increasing reading and writing time per day ( OR=1.13, 95% CI: 1.07-1.20), having self-reported myopia among friend(s) ( OR=1.15, 95% CI: 1.02-1.29), having myopic father ( OR=1.38, 95% CI: 1.06-1.79), having myopic mother ( OR=1.43, 95% CI: 1.12-1.83) and higher educated mother ( OR=1.24, 95% CI: 1.03-1.51). Conclusions:We observed a high prevalence of myopia among Mangshi students. The presence of myopia was associated with increasing age, girls, increasing reading and writing time per day, having self-reported myopia among friend(s), having myopic father, having myopic and high educated mother.

Objective:
To analyze research hot spots and trends on myopia in children and adolescents in China, and to provide a reference for the future development of this research field.
Methods:
Using CiteSpace software, 725 eligible Chinese documents published over a 22 year period were sourced from CNKI, VIP and Wanfang Chinese databases, were analyzed during 2000-2021. The data were visualized by a keyword co occurrence map, and clustering, as well as burst and author cooperative networks.
Results:
The research field of myopia in children and adolescents in China had undergone three stages:an initial formation period, development period and rapid growth period, and it was expected that the annual number of papers will maintain an increasing trend in the future. "Myopia" "adolescents" "children" and "students" were the most frequent keywords(667, 535, 288, 47). The keyword burst "adolescents" started the earliest, and "students" had the largest burst strength and duration. Zhang Ning, Tang Wenting, Tao Fangbiao, Yang Xiao and others have made important contributions to this research field.
Conclusion
In recent years, the research focus in this field has gradually shifted toward the influencing factors, as well as prevention and treatment measures of child and adolescent myopia. The trend of myopia in young children and adolescents is obvious. In the future, research on the prevention, control and treatment of myopia in children and adolescents will become a hot spot.

Objective:
To investigate the influencing factors of preschoolers hyperopia reserve, and to provide a scientific basis for preschoolers to prevent myopia.
Methods:
Visual screening and a questionnaire survey were conducted on 5 087 4-year old children in Suzhou High-tech Zone from September to December in 2020. The influencing factors of children s hyperopia reserve were analyzed by univariate analysis and Logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 997(19.6%) children had hyperopia reserve deficiency. Logistic regression showed that the negative factors associated with hyperopia reserve included being girl( OR=0.81, 95%CI =0.70-0.93), no food allergy( OR=0.78, 95%CI =0.63-0.96); and the positive factors included father myopia( OR=1.20, 95%CI =1.03-1.39), mother myopia( OR=1.17, 95%CI =1.01-1.36), exposure of night lights(for less than 1 hour: OR=1.53, 95%CI =1.21-1.92; for 1 to 3 hours: OR=1.48, 95%CI =1.09-2.00), insufficient vegetable intake( OR=1.26, 95%CI =1.07- 1.46 )( P <0.05).
Conclusion
Parental myopia, nighttime sleep environment and dietary factors have potential associations with hyperopia reserve deficiency among children. Corresponding measures should be actively taken to improve the preschoolers hyperopia reserve.
