First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether sending regular health education messages about eye care to parents via WeChat can improve how children use their eyes and slow or prevent nearsightedness. About 1,330 third-grade students in China will take part, with their guardians receiving the messages for one year. The goal is to see if simple reminders can boost outdoor time, reduce screen and near work, and encourage better eye habits.
