This minireview examines myopia within an eye-brain axis framework, emphasizing the roles of retinal neurotransmitters, dopaminergic pathways, and visual processing networks in regulating eye growth. Here, \"brain-centric\" denotes a clinically integrative model in which neurodevelopmental state and brain-governed behaviors (<i>e.g.</i>, sleep/circadian timing, viewing habits, outdoor exposure) shape the visual inputs that engage established intraocular growth pathways, rather than implying that post-retinal processing is required for emmetropization. Advances in high-resolution imaging, electrophysiology, and functional neuroimaging have reported structural and functional differences in the retina and central visual pathways that may be detectable early during myopia development; however, evidence that such alterations consistently precede refractive error remains limited, and causal direction is not fully established. We examine how early visual experiences, sleep, digital viewing behaviors, and neurodevelopmental factors may influence these pathways in children.
