Protective behaviours of near work and time outdoors in myopia prevalence and progression in myopic children: A 2-year prospective population study

British Journal of Ophthalmology Mar 06, 2020

Huang PC, Hsiao YC, Tsai CY, et al. - Researchers examined the protective behaviors of longer near work distance, discontinuing near work and more time outdoors in recess from parent self-report in the myopia prevalence and progression among myopic children aged 9–11 years. They conducted the Myopia Investigation study in Taipei, a longitudinal population-based study, including elementary school students in Taipei. Completed 2-year refraction data and questionnaires were obtained from a total of 10,743 (70.4%) students. Using generalized estimating equations, comparison of the myopia prevalence and progression [difference of Spherical equivalent] in baseline, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months was done. As per outcomes, longer distance in near work, discontinuation of near work every 30 min and more outdoor time from parent self-report are protective behaviors in myopia prevalence and progression in 6–24 months among myopic children aged around 10 years in Taipei.
