Summary
This study tested a new virtual reality (VR) system designed to slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children. 116 children aged 6 to 12 with mild to moderate myopia used the VR training, which creates special visual signals to reduce eye growth. The goal was to see if this safe, non-contact method could be a better alternative to glasses or contact lenses for controlling myopia.
