VISUAL GUIDE 1 / 3

Three outcomes that should not share one label

QuestionWhat answers it?
Eye discomfortSymptoms and a clinical assessment when needed. Tired eyes do not measure eye growth.
New myopiaWhether an initially nonmyopic child develops myopia during a defined period.
ProgressionChange after myopia develops, using comparable prescription or eye-length measurements.
Before accepting a claim about screens, identify the outcome. Relief of discomfort is not the same result as preventing myopia or slowing established progression.Sources: [1] [3] · Open or save this visual ↗
