What kids look at all day may predict nearsightedness
NCT ID NCT07642999
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 60 children aged 7-12 for three years to measure their daily visual environment, including how far they look, light brightness and color, and eye movements. Researchers want to find which factors most influence the development and worsening of nearsightedness (myopia). The goal is to eventually help prevent myopia by monitoring and adjusting a child's visual diet.
