Summary
According to the statistics in 2006, myopia prevalence was 22.9% amongst the world’s population. The highest prevalence is found in Asia [2] Suggested reasons for this might include greater academic pressure than other countries, extended periods of near work and less outdoor activity [3]. The incidence of myopia does not just cause refractive error; it might potentially be related to irreversible ocular disease such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, choroidal neovascularization, optic disc abnormalities and posterior staphyloma [4]. These pose a serious threat to vision and have led to myopia being considered one of the most important public health issues globally. Ways to control myopia so far include corrective spectacles and contact lenses, atropine and orthokeratology [5,6]
