Preventing nearsightedness and health problems in children
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests a program to help prevent nearsightedness and other health issues in children. It may help by encouraging healthy habits early in life.

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 looks at ways to prevent and control nearsightedness (myopia) in children. By joining, your child can get regular eye check-ups and help researchers learn what works best to keep their vision clear.
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 tests a school-based program to help prevent nearsightedness (myopia) in children who are not yet nearsighted but have a higher risk of developing it. It uses a simple, non-invasive method called auricular acupressure, which involves placing small seeds on the ear, to see if it can keep eyes healthy and reduce the chance of needing glasses.
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 if optimizing daily light exposure can prevent or slow down nearsightedness (myopia) in children. It involves wearing a light-tracking device and spending time in specially lit classrooms.
