[Epidemiology of high myopia among children and adolescents in China]

Myopia, especially high myopia, seriously affects the children and adolescents' quality of learning and life relating to a series of eye diseases. More and more studies show that the prevalence of high myopia in children and adolescents in China continues to rise, and gradually increases with age, showing a trend of younger age development. In this review, the existing literature was systematically reviewed to explore the differences in the prevalence of high myopia among people at different times, ages, and regions and understand the epidemiological status of high myopia in children and adolescents, so as to provide theoretical basis for further prevention and control of high myopia.
