650nm Low-level Red-light for Myopia Control and Prevention in Children

Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Myopia
Interventions
Device: 650 nm low-level red-light
Registration Number
NCT05786586
Lead Sponsor
Beijing Tongren Hospital
Brief Summary

A multicenter randomized controlled trial, evaluating the efficacy and safety of 650nm low-level red-light irradiation for myopia control and prevention in children. Participants included children(aged 6 to 12 years, spherical equivalent error of 0.5D or below) who are already myopic at recruitment, and those who are of Emmetropia or low hyperopia.

Detailed Description

This multicenter randomized controlled trial will be conducted in three hospitals: Beijing Tongren Hospital, and another two subcenters. The whole study will last for five years.The investigators will perform data analysis at 6 months follow-up, one-year follow-up, two-year follow-up, three-year follow-up, four-year follow-up and the end of the study. The intervention measure used will be 650 nm low-level red-light. This kind of intervention will be integrated into a headworn device. This device could be used for treatment of myopia or amblyopia, and is safe for the eyes and has been verified by the Chinese market supervision and administration department.

GroupInterventionDescription
650 nm low-level red-light, plus single vision spectacle lenses650 nm low-level red-lightChildren in the treatment group are expected to receive 6 minutes irradiation of 650 nm low-level red-light daily, divided into two times a day, each lasting for 3 minutes. Single vision spectacle lenses are allowed for myopic children.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in axial lengthBaseline, six-month follow-up, one-year follow-up, two-year follow-up, three-year follow-up, four-year follow-up, five-year follow-up

Use an optical biometer to measure the axial length.

Change in spherical equivalent errorBaseline, six-month follow-up, one-year follow-up, two-year follow-up, three-year follow-up, four-year follow-up, five-year follow-up

Children's pupil were dilated using Mydrin-P eye drops, and then the refractive error was measured using an autorefractor. the two measurements (axial length and spherical equivalent error) will be aggregated to arrive at one reported value through the following way: axial enlongation will be defined as progress in myopia, decrease in spherical equivalent error will be defined as progress in myopia too.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Choroid thicknessBaseline, six-month follow-up, one-year follow-up, two-year follow-up, three-year follow-up, four-year follow-up, five-year follow-up
