Impact of Digital Screen Time in Progression of Myopia in Children
An observational study of Myopia, Progressive, run by Superior University at 1 site in Pakistan.
Trial summary
Research suggests that prolonged digital screen time is a significant contributing factor to the progression of myopia in children. Studies have shown that increased near-work activities, such as reading, writing, and screen time, can lead to an increased risk of developing myopia. Read more about this study

Study population: Impact of Digital Screen Time in Progression of Myopia in Children he widespread use of digital devices among children has raised concerns about the potential impact on their eye health. Excessive screen time can cause prolonged near focus, reduced outdoor time, and increased blue light exposure, all of which may contribute to myopia progression.
Who may be able to join
- Both male and female myopic children of age 6 to 12 years were included with BCVA 6/6 with no any eye pathology.
- No medication or disease that could affect vision.
- Spherical equivalent of cylinder 0.50 to 1.00 were added.
Who cannot join
- Opacity, cataract, any fundus pathologies, strabismus or indication of previous ocular surgeries were excluded.
- High astigmatic children were excluded or more than 1.00DC.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Progression of MyopiaDiagnostic test
The widespread use of digital devices among children has raised concerns about the potential impact on their eye health. Excessive screen time can cause prolonged near focus, reduced outdoor time, and increased blue light exposure, all of which may contribute to myopia progression. Understanding the relationship between digital screen time and myopia progression is crucial for developing effective prevention and intervention strategies to mitigate the growing burden of myopia in children.
