About this trial
This is a randomized controlled trial aimed to explore the effect of behavioral interventions based on doctors' and nurses' health education on the onset and development of myopia in children's. Participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: eye health intervention, or the control group. Intervention group's parents would reveive eye health education in response to their children's myopia progression at baseline, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months, while the control group did not receive any. Visual acuity, cycloplegic refraction, axial length, Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item Scale were the main outcomes and measures.
