Study on environment and nearsightedness in Uyghur children
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial looks at how things in the environment might affect nearsightedness (myopia) in Uyghur children living in remote parts of China. If your child is between 6 and 15 and has no other eye problems, this study could help understand what causes myopia and how to prevent it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Student must be 6 to 15 years old
