The prevalence of myopia and eye health behaviors among 3 to 18 years: a cross-sectional survey study
The prevalence of self-reported myopia is at a high level among individuals between the ages of 3 and 18 in Hubei province, China, with notable differences between urban and rural populations. The level of eye health behaviors among children and adolescents is suboptimal. A particular focus on fostering the development of positive eye-use habits among younger children should be reinforced in the future.
