Description
Shuai Liu leads an eight-author survey in 2026 on nearsightedness among Hefei high school students after the COVID-19 period. Myopia has surged across East Asia, raising risks of retinal damage and blindness later in life. The team measured vision and refraction in over 6,400 students aged 17 to 19 across 15 schools, alongside questionnaires.
Prevalence reached 85.3 percent, higher in girls than boys. Having myopic parents more than doubled the adjusted odds, while over an hour outdoors daily cut odds sharply. Long near work, reported by most students, tracked with higher rates. School and family prevention education linked to milder myopia, yet few families used it, the authors note.
