Eye fatigue can exacerbate myopia, and it is an important factor in worsening nearsightedness. When the eyes look into the distance, they are in a completely relaxed state, which does not cause or worsen myopia. Myopia occurs due to near-distance eye activities. Prolonged close-distance eye activities and working too closely can lead to chronic fatigue in the external eye muscles. When this happens, the eye axis is stretched and, over time, cannot fully return to its original state, resulting in the onset or worsening of myopia. Therefore, during daily eye use, it is essential to avoid excessive duration and too close distances to prevent fatigue and thus avoid worsening myopia.
