The prevalence rate of myopia is rising year by year, so it is critical to identify the risk factors for myopia and then take action to prevent the disease. A large number of researchers propose that the disruption of the circadian photoperiod interferes with normal eye development and results in the occurrence or progression of myopia. This review outlines the correlation between the disruption of the photoperiod and myopia caused by night-time lighting or prolonged daylight (>12 h) exposure and summarizes relevant animal research as well.
