Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Research suggests that prolonged digital screen time is a significant contributing factor to the progression of myopia in children. Studies have shown that increased near-work activities, such as reading, writing, and screen time, can lead to an increased risk of developing myopia. The widespread use of digital devices among children has raised concerns about the potential impact on their eye health.

Progression of Myopia

The widespread use of digital devices among children has raised concerns about the potential impact on their eye health. Excessive screen time can cause prolonged near focus, reduced outdoor time, and increased blue light exposure, all of which may contribute to myopia progression. Understanding the relationship between digital screen time and myopia progression is crucial for developing effective prevention and intervention strategies to mitigate the growing burden of myopia in children.
