How Children's Screen Time Affects Eye Development
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tracks how much time children spend looking at screens versus outdoor activities and how that relates to their eye health over 3 years. Researchers will give your child a special device to wear at home to measure their visual habits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child is between 7 and 12 years old
- Child's eyes have good focusing ability and see 3D well (normal binocular vision)
- Child has minimal astigmatism (blurry vision at all distances) — less than 1.50 diopters
- Child has not had eye surgery or myopia control treatment (like special contact lenses or eye drops) and is not planning to start any
- Child can wear a small tracking device at home for 8 days every 6 months for 3 years
- Child was born at or after 34 weeks of pregnancy and has no developmental delays

This study uses eye-tracking glasses to see how children with and without myopia (nearsightedness) look at outdoor scenes from streets and neighborhoods. The results may help design environments that support healthy vision in children.
This study tests if spending more time outdoors can help slow the worsening of nearsightedness (myopia) in children. It involves using special contact lenses and tracking vision changes over one year.
This study looks at what children do every day and how it relates to their vision. It may help understand why some children need glasses.
This study tests a special lens designed to slow down nearsightedness (myopia) in children. It is for kids who spend at least one hour a day on screens and currently wear regular glasses.
This study looks at how well children can see and move while wearing special glasses for myopia (nearsightedness). It helps researchers understand if the glasses improve daily activities.
This study follows how the eyes of children with nearsightedness (myopia) grow over time. It aims to learn more about how myopia changes as children get older.
