Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common type of refractive error where close objects appear clearly, but objects farther away appear blurred. Although this vision ...

For years, rising rates of myopia - or nearsightedness - have been widely attributed to increased screen time, especially ...

Prolonged near work in low luminance may accelerate myopia primarily by limiting retinal illumination through sustained accommodative miosis rather than by electronic screens per se.

In a new consensus report, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine said that myopia should be classified as a disease that requires a medical diagnosis, and that children should ...
