Onset of myopia in children who are not yet myopic

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 observational study tracks a cohort of emmetropic children over annual follow-ups to identify factors associated with the onset of myopia. Participants are aged 4 to under 9 at enrollment and must have a spherical equivalent between plano and +2.00 diopters in each eye. Data collected may include ocular measurements and environmental factors to understand what contributes to myopia development and to inform future prevention strategies. The trial is sponsored by Fondation Ophtalmologique Adolphe de Rothschild and conducted at Hôpital Fondation A. de Rothschild in Paris. No intervention beyond standard clinical follow-up is planned.
