Summary

This study tests whether oral dietary supplements can improve the health of the back of the eye in children with nearsightedness (myopia). About 156 children aged 8-13 will take either a supplement or a placebo for a period, and researchers will measure changes in the thickness and blood vessels of the choroid layer. The goal is to see if supplements can help control myopia progression.
