      <abstract>
        <p>Myopia, or short-sightedness, is a common refractive error in which distant objects appear 
blurred due to the focal point of light being in front of the retina. With the increasing global 
prevalence of myopia, particularly among children and adolescents, there is an urgent need 
to explore and understand its etiological mechanisms, risk factors, and alternative 
approaches to its management. This literature review delves into the risk factors and 
theories behind the progression of myopia, the clinical classification of various forms of 
myopia, and the holistic homeopathic approach to its treatment. It discusses the role of 
therapeutically indicated remedies and repertorial rubrics with a focus on muscular 
asthenopia, ciliary muscle dysfunction, and accommodative strain.</p>
