Factors associated with myopia in the Portuguese child population: An epidemiological study
The study found that 12.7% of the children in the study sample, aged 5-17 years, were myopic, indicating a significant association with familial history and limited outdoor activities. These insights highlight the need for targeted myopia screening and prevention strategies in the paediatric population.
