For many years, various treatment options have been proposed to control the progression of myopia in children. Recently, the age of myopia onset is gradually decreasing. Due to early onset of myopia increases the risk of developing high myopia, the concept of premyopia has been introduced. The aim of this review is to raise awareness among both ophthalmologists and parents about the concept of premyopia. The importance of identifying and managing premyopia is to prevent sight-threatening complications related to myopia and reduce the economic and healthcare system burdens.
