About

In this study, the investigators aim to perform a prospective, randomized controlled study to compare the myopia development between children using myopia prediction algorithm and children without using myopia prediction algorithm.

Full description

We propose to enroll Grade 3 children from primary schools in China. Children will be given examinations of visual acuity, eye refraction and biometrics, and be assigned to two groups: participants in group A use myopia prediction algorithm to predict myopia development, while in Group B, the participants do not use myopia prediction algorithm to predict myopia development. The visual acuity, eye refraction and biometrics will be investigated over the one-year follow-up period, aiming at comparison of actual myopia development between the two groups.

Enrollment: 1,680 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 8 to 9 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Children at Grade 3 (aged 8-9)
• Has the record of eye refraction examined in the past year
• Written informed consents provided

Exclusion criteria

• Definitive diagnosis of other ocular abnormalities except for refractive error
• Previous eye surgery
• Unwilling to participate in this trial

Using myopia prediction algorithm

Experimental group

Description:

After examination of visual acuity, eye refraction and biometrics, the examination results are shown to the children. Meanwhile, myopia prediction algorithm will be used to predict SE and presence of high myopia in the subsequent 10 years.

Treatment:

Other: Myopia prediction algorithm

Not using myopia prediction algorithm

No Intervention group

Description:

After examination of visual acuity, eye refraction and biometrics, the examination results are shown to the children.
