Detect 'hidden' myopia! Yang Ming Chiao Tung University Hospital: Mydriatic refraction doubles detection rate, safeguarding toddlers' brilliant futures.

With the arrival of the digital era, the prevalence rate of children's myopia is rapidly climbing globally, and the myopia rate among students in Taiwan is even at the forefront of the world. Vision care has become a guarding challenge that cannot be ignored. The National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University Hospital deeply feels that medical capacity should actively extend to community preventive medicine, demonstrating the specific results of the hospital's many years of deep cultivation in the community and the establishment of a national iconic prevention model. On January 11, 115 (Sun.), the hospital and the Yilan County Health Bureau jointly held the "2026 Yilan Myopia Prevention Seminar" at the Evergreen Resort Hotel Jiaoxi. This seminar will publish research results deeply cultivated in Yilan: through the "mydriatic refraction" examination, the myopia detection rate is more than double that of traditional vision chart screening, detecting double the number of hidden cases, which can effectively fill the detection loopholes of traditional screening and safeguard toddlers' vision.
