Pediatric myopia affects more and more children in Asia, USA and other countries. There is no standard protocol for the therapy but pediatric ophthalmologists try to decrease myopia progression using different methods.

Regarding this issue, the aim of this paper was to underline the new therapeutic regimens for correcting and slowing pediatric myopia progression.
