Study summary

High myopia retinopathy has become the first cause of irreversible blindness and severe visual impairment in Chinese adults, in order to avoid the blind and visual impairment caused by high myopia retinopathy, it is very necessary to research the mechanism of early visual impairment to prevent and control damages. Our recent research found that the decreasing of macular retina vascular density and subfoveal choroidal thickness, the increasing of Beta Zone area in optic atrophy and the rising of glycosylated hemoglobin in high myopia patients were significantly related to visual impairment, which suggested that the source of visual impairment was the abnormal structure changes surrounding optic and fovea, but so far there is no related study. We will conduct a 5 years prospective cohort study in the population of 2420 high myopia and controls which have established in college student population, working population and aged more than 50 years old population, using the latest OCT-A and SS-OCT to measure macular retina vascular density, subfoveal choroidal thickness, Beta Zone area in optic atrophy, combined with the semiparametric mixed effects model, we will analysis the prediction index between fundus structure parameters, blood biochemical index and individual characteristics prediction to explore the public health management mode of early prevention and treatment during high myopia population.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Retina Vessel Density (RVD)

    RVD is calculated both the macular and peripapillary area.

    Time frame: December 31, 2016

  2. tilted optic disc

    A tilted optic disc was defined as the tilt ratios ≤0.80.

    Time frame: December 31, 2016

  3. β-zone PPA

    The β-zone PPA area (an inner crescent of chorioretinal atrophy with good visibility of the large choroidal vessels and the sclera) was determined as the total number of pixels using the ImageJ software in a circumferential pattern.

    Time frame: December 31, 2018

  4. glycosylated hemoglobin

    This test measures the average blood sugar control for the previous three months or so.

    Time frame: December 31, 2020

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jan 2016 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2019, 47 months after the start.

Of 51 non-industry observational studies under Vision Disorders, half reached primary completion within 23 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 42. This study's planned 47 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 58 studies reached it within 23 months; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 52.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 26, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
