30,000 Kids' eyes measured to map normal vision development
NCT ID NCT05770661
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study is measuring the eye length of 30,000 Chinese children aged 3 to 18 years to create standard growth charts for healthy eyes. Researchers will follow each child for three years with yearly check-ups. The goal is to better understand how eyes grow and when nearsightedness (myopia) starts, which could help doctors spot problems earlier.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could provide standard eye-growth charts for Chinese children, helping doctors better track and understand myopia development.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only measures eye length and does not test any intervention, so it cannot directly improve vision or prevent myopia.
