VR goggles fight Kids' nearsightedness

NCT ID NCT07042022

Summary

This study tested a new virtual reality (VR) training system designed to slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children. Researchers enrolled 116 children aged 6 to 12 with myopia to see if special defocusing images shown in VR goggles could safely slow eye growth, which causes worsening vision. The goal was to find a practical and effective alternative to existing methods like special contact lenses or glasses.
