Effets bénéfiques d'exposition à la lumière chez les enfants myopes

Abstract

In many countries, there is evidence that the prevalence of myopia is increasing. Advances inmeasurement technologies now allow for reliable quantification and sampling of potentiallyassociated environmental factors in the development and progression of myopia. The objective of this study is to find a significant relationship between exposure to ambientlight and the growth of myopia among Algerian schoolchildren, that is, to confirm thatimplementing measures to increase daily exposure to outdoor light could help reduce thedevelopment and progression of myopia during childhood. The results indicate that appropriate exposure of myopic children to natural light canbeneficially reduce the progression of their myopia.
