Activity Outline
While outdoor time and screen limits dominate myopia prevention discussions, emerging research reveals another critical factor: sleep. Dr Nicole Liu and Professor Padmaja Sankaridurg explore the fascinating biological connections between sleep patterns and eye development, uncovering how disrupted circadian rhythms, altered dopamine-melatonin pathways, and compromised melanopsin signalling may contribute to myopia progression.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the basis and evidence linking aspects of sleep to risk of myopia development and/or progression
- Realise pathways and mechanisms linking sleep patterns to myopia development
- Be aware of practical challenges in implementing sleep-based myopia interventions, and
- Be able to make evidence-based recommendations for incorporating sleep health education into a holistic myopia management strategy
