After-school exercise for myopia and children's health
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether after-school exercise programs can help prevent or slow down nearsightedness (myopia) and improve children's physical and mental health. It is for children who are already in an after-school program and are generally healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be enrolled in a school's after-school program.
- You and your child must agree to join the study and sign a consent form.

This trial tests an intervention to prevent nearsightedness (myopia) and other health problems in children. It may help your child if they are in grades 3-4, aged 8-11, and generally healthy.
This study tests whether a school-based program can help prevent nearsightedness (myopia) in children who currently have good distance vision and enough 'eye reserve' (hyperopic reserve) to potentially avoid becoming nearsighted. It focuses on early elementary students to see if simple activities can keep their eyes healthy.
This study tests whether a special physical education class can help prevent health problems in middle school students. It may be a good fit if you are a junior high student who wants to be more active and doesn't have certain eye or weight-related conditions.
This study tests whether a school-based program can help slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children who are either already nearsighted or at risk of becoming nearsighted. It may help reduce the need for stronger glasses in the future.
This study follows children with normal vision to see who develops nearsightedness (myopia) and what factors might affect it. It aims to understand how eye development and environment together influence the need for glasses.
This study tests whether changing outdoor play time can help prevent nearsightedness in preschool children. If your child is generally healthy and can cooperate with eye checkups, they might be able to join.
