Abstract

Myopia, often known as near-sightedness, is a prevalent form of the refractive error known as astigmatism. It affects a sizeable percentage of people all over the world. There is accumulating evidence to show that environmental variables, such as temporary drug-induced myopia (TDIM) and transient near work-induced myopia (TNWIM), may contribute to its growth. This is despite the fact that genetic factors play a considerable role in its development. research that has already been done should be analysed and synthesised to determine how these two parameters are related to the advancement of refractive errors. TDIM refers to a condition in which patients can have temporary myopia as a side effect of taking certain drugs. TDIM has been linked to a number of different pharmaceuticals, including atropine, topiramate, and sulfa-based treatments, according to the findings of a number of investigations. Alterations in the ciliary muscle and the crystalline lens are thought to be the mechanisms underpinning TDIM. These alterations can cause momentary shifts in the eye's refractive error. In spite of this, the scientific community is not entirely in agreement regarding the effect that TDIM will have on the development of myopia over the long run.
