Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are children with myopia in at least one eye, defined as a refractive error of -0.50 diopters or worse.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with eye trauma, inflammatory conditions, or a history of intraocular surgery in both eyes may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study aims to observe the evolution of ocular growth in children diagnosed with myopia, a common vision condition. It will involve a cohort of myopic children in Europe, particularly focusing on those in France, to collect high-quality retinal and corneal images through ophthalmological follow-ups. The goal is to better understand how myopia progresses in this population, as current research is limited and primarily conducted in Asia. By gathering detailed imaging and data, the study hopes to contribute valuable insights into effective preventive strategies for myopia.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved understanding and management of myopia in children, potentially reducing the risk of severe visual impairment.
How similar studies have gone: While there is limited research on ocular growth in myopic children in Europe, studies in Asia have shown promising results in understanding myopia progression.
