Description
Summary:Myopia, which is the most common disorder of refraction, in case of progression causes a variety of dangerous and severe complications, which can eventually lead to a significant decrease in the quality of life and disability in young and working age people. The growing trend of myopia prevalence is due to a significant increase in visual work and psychological stress, which, in their turn, are explained by rapid scientific and technological progress and extensive urbanization. The genetic, ethnic and age factors, as well as the presence of chronic diseases and general lifestyle, also play an important role in the onset of myopia.
