Interventional modalities for the prevention and management of childhood myopia in frontiers in ophthalmology: PREC strategy for myopia in children
Abstract
The increasing global prevalence of myopia represents a major public health concern. This perspective article aligns with the research theme of the special issue on Interventional Modalities for the Prevention and Management of Childhood Myopia. In progressive myopia, the goal is to implement reliable early-life strategies to control myopia and reduce the risk of high myopia. We propose the PREC framework (Prevent, Recognize, Evaluate, and Control) for childhood myopia. Each component is detailed to support individualized myopia management. However, further evidence is required to establish robust guidelines and optimize management strategies, particularly for non-isolated myopia.
