Scoping review highlights the rising prevalence of anisometropia linked to myopia, suggesting the need for better eye care.
The association between anisometropia and the magnitude of refractive error means that in populations with a high prevalence of myopia, anisometropia has largely become a feature of that refractive error, in contrast to the traditional association with hyperopia. This has important implications for myopia control. Vision screening and/or routine professional eye care are recommended because anisometropia is under-diagnosed.
