Pablo Chandra and Gopeswar Mukherjee

Abstract

Myopia and its control are going to be the biggest challenge in the upcoming decades in the optometry and ophthalmology field. Northeast Asia and South East Asian Countries are already suffering huge damage due to visual impairment caused by myopia, in the upcoming decades, the countries which are not affected by this epidemic are also going to fall prey to this optical condition. Currently, there is no valid and concrete evidence of medicine and optical factors to control this eye-related epidemic but with small environmental modification can halt this progression and can stop a person going blind unnecessary by performing more work on outdoor activity. This article will discuss the prevalence and also evidence-based examples of how small lifestyle management can stop your eyes from becoming visually handicapped.
