The age for a high incidence of myopia, or nearsightedness, among Chinese children and minors has moved from 8 to 12 years old to 6 to 10, triggering an alarm for more timely and effective measures, experts said at the launch of the first Shanghai Myopia Prevention and Control Promotion Week on Tuesday.

Local health and educational authorities also announced the launch of a new round of three-year myopia interventions with more categorized and precise measures in line with children with different risks or levels of myopia.
