Study summary

Evaluate the efficacy, safety and wearing time compliance of novel plano spectacle lenses in delaying myopia onset in pre-myopic children and provide scientific basis for the development of myopia prevention strategies for children.

Read the detailed description

Children aged 6-9 years old with pre-myopia are randomly assigned to a control group and an intervention group at a 1:1 ratio. The intervention group uses novel plano spectacle lenses for at least 8 hours a day, and the control group doesn't receive any intervention. The efficacy of novel plano spectacle lenses in delaying myopia onset in pre-myopia children is evaluated by comparing the one-year incidence of myopia onset between intervention group and control group.
