Impact of reading lamp color temperature on myopia development in children

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This longitudinal randomized controlled trial aims to assess how different color temperatures of reading lamps affect the development of refractive errors, particularly myopia, in school-aged children over a 12-month period. Participants aged 4 to 18 will be randomly assigned to use reading lamps with color temperatures of 3000K, 4500K, or 6500K. The study will measure changes in refractive error and axial length to determine the impact of lighting conditions on myopia progression.
