Abstract：The prevention and control of myopia among children and adolescents is an important component of the implementation of the “Healthy China” strategy and a crucial livelihood project for numerous families. In recent years, the incidence of myopia among children and adolescents in China has been on the rise year by year,which has attracted great attention from the leaders of the Party and the country. They have emphasized that it is a major issue concerning the future of the nation and the people, and that it must be given due importance without being left unchecked. Myopia prevention and control is not just a medical issue but also a complex systemic project that requires exploration through diversified and multi-stakeholder collaborative governance. The “Wenzhou model” of myopia prevention and control has transitioned from a single entity to a collaborative governance involving multiple stakeholders, including the government, schools, families, medical research institutions, and children and adolescents. This model has adopted a series of scientific and effective prevention and control measures, forming a close-looped governance pattern with multiple stakeholders assuming their respective responsibilities and engaging in positive interactions. It has proven to be effective and has been replicated and promoted in many regions throughout the province and even nationwide, showcasing significant theoretical exploration and practical innovation.
