Abstract: Myopia may be caused by many factors like spending greater time looking at objects that are close, hereditary, environmental factors etc. Excessive close-up work, a high level of education, and participation in fewer outdoor activities were important environmental risk factors for myopia. Parental myopia has a significant effect on the development and progression of pediatric myopia. In the present investigation an attempt was made to correlate the myopic prevalence rate with some environmental factors like time spent on outdoor activity, time spent on electronic devises, effect of parent’s eye sight and economic status of the family.
