In 2019, the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) created the Task Force on Myopia in recognition of the substantial global increases in myopia prevalence and its associated complications. The Task Force, led by Richard L. Abbott, MD, and Donald Tan, MD, comprised recognized experts in myopia prevention and treatment, public health experts from around the world, and organization representatives from the American Academy of Family Physicians, American Academy of Optometry, and American Academy of Pediatrics. The Academy's Board of Trustees believes that myopia is a high-priority cause of visual impairment, warranting a timely evaluation and synthesis of the scientific literature and formulation of an action plan to address the issue from different perspectives. This includes education of physicians and other health care providers, patients and their families, schools, and local and national public health agencies; defining health policies to ameliorate patients' access to appropriate therapy and to promote effective public health interventions; and fostering promising avenues of research.
2019 年，美国眼科学会 (AAO) 成立了近视问题工作组，以应对近视患病率的大幅全球增长及其相关并发症。该工作组由 Richard L. Abbott 医学博士和 Donald Tan 医学博士领导，成员包括近视预防和治疗方面的知名专家、来自世界各地的公共卫生专家，以及美国家庭医师学会、美国视光学会和美国儿科学会的组织代表。学会理事会认为，近视是导致视力损害的一个高度优先事项，需要及时评估和综合科学文献，并制定一个行动计划，从不同角度解决这个问题。这包括对医生和其他医疗保健提供者、患者及其家属、学校以及地方和国家公共卫生机构进行教育；制定卫生政策，改善患者获得适当治疗的机会，并促进有效的公共卫生干预措施；以及培养有前途的研究途径。
