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: 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: Low-dose atropine can slow the progression of myopia in children, especially in the 'slow' progression group. However, rebound occurred in three-quarters of eyes after cessation of atropine. Adverse effects were observed in 69% of patients, with dilated pupils being more common in children with blue eyes.

Summary: The prevalence of myopia and visual impairment caused by myopia in Bulgarian school children is evaluated in this study. The results show a high prevalence of myopia, with factors such as age, geographical location, and school profile influencing the prevalence. Gender, adolescence, and parents with impaired vision are identified as risk factors for higher odds of myopia. Residence in a small town and engagement in daily sport activities are associated with lower odds of myopia.

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 study aimed to report the prevalence of refractive error among school students in the east district of Sikkim, India. The findings showed that myopia was the most common error, with a higher prevalence among 14-17-year-old children and slightly higher in females than males, while the highest prevalence of refractive error was found among the most backward classes.

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: 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: The process of learning begins in childhood and accurate vision can greatly affect a child's learning capacity. This research aimed to study the impact of refractive corrections on the academic performance of high school children in Lahore. The results showed a significant improvement in academic scores after refractive corrections.

Summary: Predicting the need for cycloplegic assessment and the refractive state under cycloplegia in school-age children based on non-cycloplegic ocular parameters. A machine learning model was established to effectively predict the refractive status of school-age children. This study provides a theoretical basis and supporting evidence for epidemiological research on myopia and accurate analysis of vision screening data.

Summary: To ensure the future development of India, it is necessary to implement school screening programs as 80% of knowledge is gained visually. A study conducted in Gurugram, Haryana found that 11.8% of students had some form of refractive error, with girls having a higher rate compared to boys. Therefore, providing vision care services for students who cannot afford eyewear is crucial.

Summary: This study assessed the prevalence of spectacle wear, visual acuity, and refractive errors in young Dutch children. The results showed that wearing glasses is common in preschool children and becomes more frequent in school-aged children. The study concluded that early detection and monitoring of refractive errors can help prevent visual morbidities in later life.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between myopia progression and axial length elongation in orthokeratology patients. The results showed that myopia significantly progressed and axial length increased after ortho-k treatment, and this progression was related to changes in corneal curvature, baseline age, and duration of treatment.
