1. Causes of myopia in children
Myopia is a common eye disease caused by many factors, including genetics, environment, living habits and other factors. The main causes of myopia in children are incomplete eye development and overuse. In adolescence, the eyeballs are not fully mature. If you spend a long time reading books, watching TV, playing electronic products and other activities at close range, the eyes will be overused, resulting in an increase in the length of the axial length of the eye, thus causing myopia.
