Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, has become one of the most prevalent visual disorders among school-aged children worldwide. Its increasing incidence has raised significant public health concerns due to its potential impact on academic performance, visual comfort, and long-term ocular health. This paper explores the specific characteristics of myopia correction in school-aged children, including optical, pharmacological, and lifestyle approaches. The purpose of this study is to emphasize the importance of early diagnosis, appropriate correction methods, and preventive strategies to control the progression of myopia during critical developmental years.Downloads
