Abstract
Myopia rates have risen in the past decades in China. New strategies for the prevention and control of myopia are now available, and understanding the prevalence and future trends in myopia and high myopia in children and adolescents in China may provide insights into the impact of implementing these measures. The study aims to provide updated data on the prevalence of myopia and high myopia in children and to project temporal trends in prevalence from 2020 to 2050 in China.
A systematic review and meta-analysis searching several databases in both English and Chinese: PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, China Science and Technology Journal Database (CSTJ) with date limits from 01/01/2010 to 11/23/2024 was conducted. We included population-based or school-based studies in China that determined the myopia prevalence, based on the cycloplegic refraction, in children under 20. Studies with a response rate
