[HIGHLIGHTS] At what degree of myopia does a child need to wear glasses? What are the signs that you should be alert to the occurrence of myopia?

Four departments, including the Ministry of Education and the National Health Commission, recently jointly issued a notice and decided to launch the 8th National Myopia Prevention and Control Publicity and Education Month in March 2024. The overall myopia rate among children and adolescents in my country in 2022 is 51.9% (including 36.7% in primary schools, 71.4% in junior high schools, and 81.2% in high schools).

Medical staff remind me that myopia is caused by the lengthening of the axial length of the eye, which is an irreversible process.
