Abstract：
Myopia is already one of the leading causes of permanent vision impairment, including blindness, and the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the global myopia-related burden among children owing to home confinement, increased screen time (e-learning), and decreased outside activities. To reverse the rising trend of myopia and myopia-related blindness, collaborative efforts are required. There is a wealth of evidence-based medicine (EBM) data on the epidemiology of myopia and effective interventions, but very little has been published on the clinicians\' roles and responsibilities. However, this aspect is critical because preventing the onset and progression of myopia necessitates extensive health promotion and advocacy efforts among decision-makers. Only broad medical expert collaboration can bring about the necessary changes in children\'s lifestyle and education. This article discusses clinicians\' critical roles in preventing the onset and progression of myopia.
摘要：
近视已经是导致永久性视力障碍的主要原因之一，包括失明,COVID-19大流行加剧了全球儿童因家庭监禁而造成的近视负担，增加屏幕时间（电子学习），外部活动减少。扭转近视及近视眼相关性盲上升趋势,需要合作努力。有关近视流行病学和有效干预措施的循证医学(EBM)数据丰富,但很少发表关于临床医生的角色和责任。然而,这方面至关重要，因为预防近视的发生和发展需要决策者广泛的健康促进和宣传工作。只有广泛的医学专家合作才能给儿童的生活方式和教育带来必要的改变。本文讨论了临床医生在预防近视发作和进展中的关键作用。
