Implication

Prospective analysis shows an increase in myopia prevalence and decreases in vision and refraction in children, indicating growing eye health concerns.

Key Points

  • The prevalence of myopia among school-age children increased significantly in 2020 compared to 2019.
  • Visual acuity declined in the right eye by 0.08 units, while spherical equivalent refraction showed a decrease of -0.66 D at age 10.
  • Data was collected from 1,787 students through school-based ophthalmic examinations over a year.
  • These findings highlight the urgent need to address eye health issues among school-age children.
