Myopia is one of the most relevant problems in pediatrics. One of the starting mechanisms of myopia is accommodation disorders. With an imbalance of autonomic innervation of the ciliary muscle, the process of accommodation is disrupted, which leads to the development and progression of myopia. The purpose of this study was to assess the features of vegetative homeostasis in teenagers with myopia. During the work, a survey was conducted among 300 teenagers of 15 years old, in schools of Yakutsk. The main group was 114 teenagers with myopia, the control group was 186 adolescents without refraction disorders. According to cardiorhythmography, teenagers with myopias have a high level of centralization of heart rate management, a relatively high level of activity of the sympathetic department of the autonomic nervous system and low activity indicators of the parasympathetic department of the autonomic nervous system. Sympathicotonia was much more common in young men than in girls. Sympathicotonia, functional tension and overvoltage, increased cardiovascular response to an orthostatic probe, excessive and insufficient, and paradoxical vegetative provision are characteristic of teenagers with myopia. The results showed that teenagers with myopia of both genders have autonomic nervous system imbalance.

“…This may be due to intensive near work, which increases the risk of myopia [33,105]. Bad eye habits and electronic devices are also risk factors [106,107]. Family eating habits and BMI risk factors [43] (p. 9), including changing from a Japanese to a Western diet, may increase the risk of myopia [18,19,108] (p. 5).…”

Rising childhood myopia rate has detrimental health consequences that pose a considerable challenge to health systems. The school spatial environment, which is where students are for the longest period of time, has a high health value for myopia systematic intervention. While research has demonstrated associations between physical daylight environments, medical gene and visual health, the literature currently lacks a synthesis of evidence that will act as a spatially-organized resource for school designers. This study is based on literature from the period 2000–2022 and has been taken from the Web of Science, scopus, Medline and CNKI core collection database. Collaboration, literature co-citation and quantitative and qualitative analysis, in addition to keyword co-occurrence are adopted to conduct a visual health research review. The results indicate that intensive near work activity (as a risk factor) and longer time spent outdoors (as a protective factor), are involved in visual health factors. Two main research themes are obtained and relate to: (1) The environment of visual work behavior (especially the near work learning environment) and adaptable multimedia learning environment; and (2) the environment of outdoor exposure behavior. Furthermore, with the variation of educational demands, models and concepts, there are different demands for near work behavior, and this study makes an important contribution by pointing to two future research directions, including the accurate and controllable environment of near work behavior, which operate in accordance with various educational mode requirements and the active design of the environment of outdoor exposure behavior. In referring to differences between regions and countries, as well as the development of the educational environment, it provides insight into how these demands can be controlled.

The article presents a theoretical and clinical justification for optical techniques used for the prevention of myopia. Accommodation, wavefront aberrations, peripheral refraction, and retinal image quality are considered as interrelated factors affecting postnatal refractogenesis. A detailed analysis of myopia correction methods, conditions preceding its development and their impact on the dynamics of refraction and eye growth is given. A strategy of optical correction of myopia was proposed, which includes: 1) constant wearing of defocusing binocular positive spectacle lens or Perifocal-P spectacle lens (in case of exophoria) for children at risk aged 4–7 years; 2) constant alternating weak myopic defocusing in case of myopia from 0.5 to 2.75 D, ortho- or esophoria, positive relative accommodation (PRA), peripheral myopia or emmetropia; progressive addition spectacle lens in case of PRA less than 1.0 D; Perifocal-Msa spectacle lens in the case of a combination of reduced PRA and exophoria; 3) Perifocal-M spectacle lens in case of myopia of any degree with already existing hyperopic peripheral defocus; progressive addition spectacle lens in case of PRA less than 1.0 D in combination with esophoria or Perifocal-Msa spectacle lens in combination with exophoria; 4) contact correction with bifocal soft contact lenses or orthokeratological contact lenses (Ortho-K) in case of refusal from spectacle correction. Ortho-K is preferable with moderate and high myopia; 5) bioptic correction: a combination of monofocal soft contact lenses and Perifocal-M spectacle lens to correct peripheral defocus and residual astigmatism is preferable for myopia over 8.0 D and myopia with astigmatism.
