Brief Summary

This study intends to conduct a relatively comprehensive binocular visual function examination and follow-up on two groups of myopic subjects, one receiving autostereoscopic 3D vision training and the other receiving 2D vision training as a control. The aim is to explore the impact of autostereoscopic 3D vision training on the accommodation and convergence functions of myopes. Additionally, synchronized EEG-fNIRS signals will be collected to investigate whether changes in binocular visual function are accompanied by corresponding alterations in brain function.

Detailed Description

The prevalence of myopia is increasing, posing a serious threat to our visual health. East Asia and Southeast Asia are high-prevalence areas for myopia, with over 80% of young people suffering from myopia. China has one of the highest rates of myopia globally. Preventing myopia occurrence and controlling its progression have become urgent public health issues.

Accommodative function may play an important role in the development of myopia. Studies indicate that factors such as hyperopic defocus caused by accommodation lag, prolonged near-plane fixation, and decreased accommodative flexibility may be associated with the occurrence and development of myopia. Convergence function works synergistically with accommodative function, and its impact on myopia is gradually gaining attention. Scientific and effective training methods to improve both accommodation and convergence functions might help slow down the progression of myopia.

Research by Huang et al. suggests that visual training based on autostereoscopic 3D display technology can improve accommodative lag and enhance accommodative flexibility. However, this study only explored the immediate effects of a single training session, and the long-term effects remain unknown. Furthermore, questions about how training induces changes in the convergence function, whether changes in accommodative function coincide with changes in the convergence function, etc., still need further investigation.

Therefore, this study intends to conduct a relatively comprehensive binocular visual function examination and follow-up on two groups of myopic subjects, one receiving autostereoscopic 3D vision training and the other receiving 2D vision training as a control. The aim is to explore the impact of autostereoscopic 3D vision training on the accommodation and convergence functions of myopes. Additionally, synchronized EEG-fNIRS signals will be collected to investigate whether changes in binocular visual function are accompanied by corresponding alterations in brain function.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Vergence facility8 weeks after intervention

Vergence facility was tested using a lens flipper (3△BI/12△BO lens combination) at baseline and 1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks after intervention.

Accommodative facility8 weeks after intervention

Accommodative facility was tested using a lens flipper (+2.00D/-2.00 D lens combination) at baseline and 1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks after intervention.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Near point of convergence8 weeks after intervention

Near point of convergence was measured using push-up method at baseline and 1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks after intervention.

Electroencephalogram (EEG) node efficiency8 weeks after intervention

Electroencephalogram was performed to track the electrical activity of the brain in real time at baseline and 1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks after intervention. Node efficiency was calculated. Node efficiency is a metric that characterizes the efficiency of a single node in connecting with all other parts of the network. It reflects the centrality and importance of a node within the network.

Accommodative response8 weeks after intervention

Accommodative response was measured by the FCC method at baseline and 1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks after intervention.

negative and positive relative accommodation8 weeks after intervention

Negative and positive relative accommodation was measured by phoropter at baseline and 1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks after intervention.

Accommodation amplitude8 weeks after intervention

Accommodative amplitude was measured by push-up method at baseline and 1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks after intervention.

Negative and positive fusional vergence8 weeks after intervention

Negative and positive fusional vergence were measured by phoropter at baseline and 1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks after intervention.

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)8 weeks after intervention

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) was conducted to capture spatial information on cerebral blood flow and oxygenation conditions at baseline, as well as 1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks after the intervention.
