Pakistan79 participantsStarted 2025-03-17

Plain-language summary

Research suggests that prolonged digital screen time is a significant contributing factor to the progression of myopia in children. Studies have shown that increased near-work activities, such as reading, writing, and screen time, can lead to an increased risk of developing myopia. The widespread use of digital devices among children has raised concerns about the potential impact on their eye health.
