Preventing myopia in children using distance-image screens
Clinically Study the Ocular Axial Length and Sphere Equivalence Changes of Children With Distance-image Screen Usage for One Year
This study is testing a special screen to see if it can help prevent nearsightedness in kids aged 6 to 12 by having them use it for at least 2 hours a day for a year.

What this trial studies
This study tests the efficacy and safety of distance-image screens designed to prevent myopia in children aged 6 to 12 years. Over a 12-month period, 100 volunteers will use the distance-image screen for at least 2 hours daily, with their ocular parameters assessed before and after the intervention. The study aims to measure changes in ocular axial length and refractive error through paired t-tests to evaluate the effectiveness of this approach.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are children aged 6 to 12 years with specific refractive error criteria and no significant ocular diseases.
Not a fit: Patients with strabismus, amblyopia, cataracts, glaucoma, or other severe ocular conditions may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could significantly reduce the incidence of myopia progression in children.
How similar studies have performed: While the approach of using distance-image screens is relatively novel, similar interventions targeting myopia prevention have shown promise in other studies.
