Abstract
The current pandemic has changed the social life and learning of most children and adolescents around the world due to public health restrictions. In response to this, they have spent more time on computer and television monitor screens, which should negatively impact their eye health. Thus, here we discuss the possible association between the imposed home confinement and risk of developing ‘quarantine myopia’ in children and adolescents.
