Myopia is one of the most prevalent eye disorders and has emerged as a significant public health concern globally. It is a major refractive error, affecting an estimated one-third of the global population. The rising prevalence of myopia carries substantial social, educational, and economic implications for society. In urban India, school myopia has reached epidemic levels. A study will be conducted involving all patients visiting the Ophthalmology outpatient department at NIMS Medical College and Hospital during the specified period. Myopia was diagnosed through a comprehensive ophthalmological examination, and patients were categorized into four groups based on age. In India, uncorrected refractive errors are the leading cause of visual impairment and the second most significant cause of preventable blindness. The overall prevalence of myopia in our study was found to be 0.16. Consequently, the public health and economic ramifications of myopia are substantial. The global prevalence of myopia has seen a recent increase. Previous research indicates that the ages of 9 to 16 years represent a critical period for the development of adolescent myopia. In alignment with earlier studies, we discovered that refractive development is influenced by both environmental and genetic factors for the refractive errors myopia and hyperemia, From present study it can be concluded that genetic factors plays an important role. Interaction between lifestyle and genetic susceptibility in myopia. Present study it can be concluded that high using of computer, using of more near work, watching television. Lifestyle influences the genetic e effect in children in developing myopia.
