Patient experience in high myopia with retinal thinning
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at how people with very high myopia and certain retinal changes experience their vision in daily life. It uses questionnaires and a driving simulator to understand their visual function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 55 years old.
- You have severe nearsightedness (high myopia) with an eye length of at least 26.5 mm in both eyes.
- You have a specific type of retinal thinning called 'diffuse' or 'patch' choroidal atrophy in your better eye (your doctor can confirm this).
- You are willing to be seen at one of the participating hospitals for checkups.

This study registers children and teens in Shanghai who have significant nearsightedness, to better track eye health over time. It may help researchers understand why high myopia develops and how to prevent or monitor complications.
This study follows about 1,000 people with severe nearsightedness to better understand their eye health over time. If you have severe myopia and can be seen at one of the study centers, you may be able to contribute to research that can help guide future care.
This study follows people with high myopia over time to monitor their eye health. It aims to better understand how very nearsighted eyes change.
This study follows people with high nearsightedness (high myopia) to see how blood flow in the eye changes over time using special scan images. It may help doctors better understand eye changes in high myopia and improve monitoring in the future.
