Abstract

Introduction: Nearsightedness is one of the most common eye refractive errors in the world. The development of technology has led to an increase in the use of gadgets and a decrease in outdoor activities. This is the cause of nearsightedness sufferers among students. As a result of blurring when seeing something far away, nearsightedness sufferers have to squint and tilt their head forward so that they can see something far away more clearly. This abnormal posture causes the Forward Head Posture to occur. Method: To find out whether there is a relationship between nearsightedness and Forward Head Posture, a study was conducted using a literature review with a scoping review approach because the articles obtained have various research methods. Results: A total of four articles that met the inclusion criteria were selected for review. Two articles stated that there was a relationship between nearsightedness and forward head posture and the other two did not, but showed that nearsightedness has an abnormal distance to perform certain tasks.
