Summary: The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of refractive errors in the Nepalese population. The study included 38 articles with a total of 101,701 participants. The results showed that the estimated prevalence of refractive errors in Nepalese children was 8.4%, while in adults, the prevalence of refractive errors, uncorrected refractive errors, and uncorrected presbyopia were 11.2%, 7.3%, and 78.9%, respectively.

Summary: The study found that the refractive status of preschool children changes smoothly, suggesting optometry screening starting at the age of 3. For children whose refractive error changes more than -1.00 D per year, a visit to the ophthalmology department is recommended.

Summary: The International Myopia Institute (IMI) is focused on advancing research, education, and management in the field of myopia to reduce the incidence of future vision impairment and blindness associated with increasing myopia. By promoting collaboration and knowledge sharing, IMI addresses issues such as pathologic myopia, the impact of myopia, risk factors, accommodation, binocular vision, and myopia prevention.

Summary: This population-based study investigated the refractive status and prevalence of refractive error in Chinese preschool children aged 1-6 years old. The study found that the prevalence of myopia decreased with age in preschool children younger than 5 years old and then slightly increased at 5-6 years, potentially indicating early signs of myopia in school-age children. The research highlights the need for greater attention to be given to children in this age group.

Summary: This study found that parental myopia and outdoor time were associated with myopia in children, with children spending more time outdoors being less likely to develop myopia.

Summary: This study found that the use of 0.01% atropine eye drops can effectively prevent myopia progression, but it also leads to an increase in axial length and total astigmatism in myopic Chinese children.

Summary: In this study of elementary school-aged children in Singapore, various sleep factors such as quality, duration, timing, and consistency were not independently associated with myopia, spherical equivalent, and axial length. Large longitudinal studies are needed to verify these results.

Summary: The study demonstrates that chronic ocular hypertension can accelerate the development of slowly progressive myopia in Long-Evans rat eyes, accompanied by an initial increase in eye structure and function that later reverses.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of the refractive error gene GJD2 on human myopia, finding that it affects ocular biometry, particularly axial length and anterior chamber depth. Children carrying two risk alleles show larger axial length/corneal radius ratio at ages 6 and 9. Education and environmental factors negatively influence myopia and biometric outcomes, though gene-environment interactions do not reach statistical significance.

Summary: This study compared axial and peripheral eye elongation during myopia therapy with multifocal soft contact lenses. The findings suggest that wearing +2.50 D addition multifocal contact lenses can neutralize or reverse the increase in retinal steepness caused by single vision lenses.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the application of a deep learning model to extract refractive error metrics from pupillary red reflex images. The results showed that using red reflex images can be a useful method for estimating refractive error, especially in the context of highly portable and smartphone-based eye care.

Summary: This study found that spherical equivalent refractive error (SE) in hyperopic children showed different longitudinal changes depending on different factors, such as the presence of refractive accommodative esotropia (AccET) or amblyopia. SE tended to decrease in children with hyperopia, with a greater decrease in eyes with higher SE or amblyopic eyes. The emmetropization of hyperopia was faster in hyperopic patients without AccET.

Summary: This study describes the clinical spectrum and genetic background of high myopia caused by mutations in the ARR3 gene. It identified three families with early onset, therapy-resistant, high myopia with a female-limited inheritance pattern caused by a mutation in the ARR3 gene. Identification of this type of high myopia will improve prompt myopia treatment, monitoring, and genetic counseling.
