Preventing myopia in children using distance-image screens
Official title: Clinically Study the Ocular Axial Length and Sphere Equivalence Changes of Children With Distance-image Screen Usage for One Year
Run by Beijing Airdoc Technology Co., Ltd. · NCT06088225 · Data updated 2026-11-12
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.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are children aged 6 to 12 years with specific refractive error criteria and no significant ocular diseases.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with strabismus, amblyopia, cataracts, glaucoma, or other severe ocular conditions may not benefit from this study.

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.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could significantly reduce the incidence of myopia progression in children.
How similar studies have gone: While the approach of using distance-image screens is relatively novel, similar interventions targeting myopia prevention have shown promise in other studies.
