Abstract
HERNANDEZ SANTOS, Lourdes Rita et al. Update on Optical Treatment in Myopic Children. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2023, vol.36, n.4 Epub Feb 15, 2024. ISSN 1561-3070.
Myopia constitutes a worldwide public health problem, and is expected to affect an increasing number of people in the coming decades. The control of the progression of this refractive defect has become an important part of clinical practice, and in the absence of a protocolized treatment with the aim of reducing it, several therapeutic options have been evaluated. The aim of the study was to provide updated information on optical treatment in myopic children. For its realization, publications were reviewed, in Spanish and English, available in databases such as PubMed, Ebsco, Google Scholar, SciELO, among others.
Keywords : myopia; myopia progression; optical treatment.
