Summary

The last decades have seen a significant increase in myopia in children and young adults. Possible cause: increased near-work (school, computer, smartphone). Rationale: Reading glasses support the accommodative effort of the eyes. By wearing reading glasses, there is less interference with the young eye´s physiological axial growth despite increased near-work. Main objective: does the use of reading glasses during near-work in children and adolescents reduce the incidence of myopia.
