Risk factors for myopia among children and adolescents: an umbrella review of published meta-analyses and systematic reviews

Our findings contribute to a better understanding of the association between potential risk factors and myopia among children and adolescents and are important for informing parenting, education, clinical practice guidelines and public health policy.
