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.
