Abstract in brief

The review found that increased near work activities, like reading or screen time, are linked to a higher likelihood of developing myopia (nearsightedness) in children, with the odds increasing slightly for each additional hour spent on near work.
Data from 27 studies involving over 25,000 children aged 6 to 18 suggest that reducing near work could be an important strategy to prevent myopia in kids.
The study highlights the importance of developing interventions or guidelines to limit near work activities as a way to help control the rising rates of myopia among children.]
