What this trial studies
This observational project collects ophthalmologic data and uses a Swedish-language tool to measure vision-related quality of life in children and adolescents. It aims to understand how myopia and digital-era visual demands influence daily functioning. The study involves pediatric eye exams and the PedEyeQ questionnaire across age groups, with partnerships among Örebro University Hospital, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, and Göteborg University. It addresses gaps in national guidelines and patient-reported outcomes for pediatric vision care in Sweden.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the questionnaire could help clinicians better understand and monitor how myopia affects kids’ lives, guiding patient-centered care.
How similar studies have gone: Similar patient-reported outcome measures have been developed and used in other countries, suggesting feasibility, though Swedish validation is needed.
