Abstract

Refractive error is a common ophthalmic disease in children. It refers to the mismatch between the axial length and the refractive power that results in visual blur, which is usually driven by the interaction of genetic and environmental factors. The impacts of pregnancy and puerperium-related factors on refractive error in children have gradually gained attention. According to the different stages of pregnancy, this review summarizes the impacts of four aspects on refractive error in children, including lifestyle during pregnancy, complications and comorbidities during pregnancy, adverse pregnancy outcomes and other factors, which aims to provide perinatal healthcare clues for the prevention and control of refractive error in children, achieve prevention beforehand and reduce the public health burden of refractive error in children.

屈光不正是儿童眼科常见疾病,是指眼睛的轴向长度与屈光力不匹配而造成视觉模糊,通常是由遗传和环境因素交互作用导致的。孕产期相关因素对儿童屈光不正的影响逐渐受到关注,本文对孕产期不同阶段进行分类,重点从孕期生活方式、妊娠期并发症及合并症、不良妊娠结局和其他因素4个方面对儿童屈光不正影响进行综述,旨在为儿童屈光不正防控提供围生期保健线索,实现防控关口前移,减轻因儿童屈光不正带来的公共卫生负担。.
