    Context:

    • Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common refractive error.
    • Childbirth decisions are influenced by various maternal health factors.
    • Previous clinical practices often recommended Cesarean delivery for women with myopia.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the necessity of Cesarean delivery for women with myopia.
    • To analyze the relationship between myopia severity and delivery mode.
    • To challenge the common indication of myopia for Cesarean section.

    Summary:
