    Abstract:

    With the increasing prevalence in recent years, myopia has become an essential global health concern. In most instances, an increased axial length of the eye is the structural cause of nearsightedness. The scleral remodeling, primarily dependent on the scleral extracellular matrix (ECM) changes, is significantly linked to eye lengthening. Scleral remodeling plays a critical function in the incidence and progression of myopia. This mini-review will focus on recent research progress of scleral remodeling in the hope of providing new ideas for the prophylaxis and treatment of myopia.
