Parents’ awareness needs to be improved urgently. Only 67.5% of parents of children aged 0-3 believed that myopia could be prevented; only 34.5% of parents and 30.5% of adolescents could correctly recognize the threshold of high myopia. At the same time, both children, adolescents and parents have very insufficient awareness of fundus diseases. Only 14.2% of parents of children and adolescents and 8.5% of adolescents knew that fundus disease was one of the complications of high myopia. Dean Zhou proposed, “New parents have insufficient initiative and awareness of the prevention and control of myopia, and it is necessary to establish the refractive development files of children and adolescents as soon as possible. This is a visual health file like a school record, including vision, eye Axis, corrected visual acuity, diopter, intraocular pressure, fundus and more than a dozen indicators closely related to refractive development can detect signs of myopia in advance, and give effective prevention and intervention in the early stage.” Dean Zhou also emphasized that special attention should be paid to targeting Publicity and education on the hazards of high myopia; also avoid improper use of products without evidence-based medical evidence, so as to avoid secondary harm and potential damage to children and adolescents. The report also calls for further popularization of scientific and effective myopia prevention and correction methods, vigorous promotion of standardized diagnosis and treatment models, and the establishment of an eye health service support platform that integrates schools, hospitals and families to improve the efficiency of myopia prevention and control.
