Objective.

To analyse the prevalence of myopia among a sample of more than 6000 children in Spain as well as to determine the impact of risk factors in its progression.

Methodology.

A total of 6,152 children aged from 5 to 7 were examined.

The participants underwent an eye examination that included visual acuity, refraction without cycloplegia, and tests of accommodative and binocular function.

In addition, a questionnaire regarding their lifestyle, family history, and geographical data was carried out.

Finally, data were analysed using the SPSS version 25 program.

Results.

The prevalence of myopia in the sample of children studied has increased from 17% in 2016 to 20% in 2017.

Likewise, the number of children with high myopia has also increased, from 1.7% in 2016 to 3.6% in 2017.

43.3% of the participants spent more than 3 hours a day doing near activities, and 48.9% of this group spent more than 50% of this time using electronic devices.

In addition, only 9.7% spent more than 2.5 hours outdoors each day.

Conclusion.

Myopia prevalence appears to be increasing in Spain.

Lifestyle factors appear to be increasing the risk of myopia.
