What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study follows 1,000 preschool children (ages 0-6) with refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. Researchers aim to map how these conditions progress, identify related health issues, and find the best ways to correct vision early. The goal is to create evidence-based guidelines to protect children's eyesight and prevent permanent visual impairment.

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 lead to better guidelines for diagnosing and treating refractive errors in young children, potentially preventing permanent vision loss.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly test a new therapy. Results may take years and might not change current practice.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

This study enrolls preschool children aged 0-6 years with refractive errors as the observation group. Eligible subjects meet the following inclusion criteria: refractive error onset during preschool period confirmed by available medical records, spherical power ≤ -0.50 D or ≥ +3.00 D in any meridian, and written informed consent provided by legal guardians. Children who cannot cooperate with ophthalmic examinations and long-term follow-up will be excluded.

Ages

0 to 6 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Onset of refractive error occurs during preschool age (0-6 years old) supported by retrievable medical records; 2. Spherical equivalent power ≤ -0.50 D or ≥ +3.00 D in any meridian; 3. Legal guardians agree to participate and sign written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: Children unable to cooperate with examinations and follow-up visits.
