Research progress of health lighting and prevention and control of children's myopia / 眼科新进展

ABSTRACT

The prevalence of myopia is substantial in China,significantly impacting children's visual health.Current research indicates that extended screen time and inadequate outdoor activities are pivotal factors contributing to childhood myopia.These risk factors are closely associated with light parameters,including intensity,duration,frequency and spec-trum.Moreover,inappropriate nighttime lighting can disturb children's circadian rhythms and sleep and contribute to myo-pia development.This study reviews clinical research and epidemiological data on screen time,outdoor activities,light properties and circadian rhythms,aiming to offer recommendations and guidance for preventing myopia in children.
