Abstract

Myopia has become a global public health issue with its boom over the recent years. Researchers have been working on ways to prevent myopia from worsening in this gadget era. The covid pandemic has added to the concern with its imposed home confinement and dependence on near work and increased screentime. Apart from adversely affecting educational outcomes in children, the negative impact could extend to the quality of life, personal and psychological wellbeing. This calls for a detailed review of the current understanding, the various mechanisms and consensus on updated management strategies of the various aspects of myopia.
