Effect of virtual reality-based visual training for myopia control in children: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To assess the efficacy and safety of virtual reality-based visual training (VRVT) in myopia control among children.

Methods

The randomized, parallel-group, single-blind clinical trial conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology of Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital enrolled 65 low-myopic children (aged 8 to 13 years) with cycloplegic spherical equivalent (SE) between - 0.50 and - 3.00 diopters (D), astigmatism less than - 1.00 D, anisometropia less than 1.50D, and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) more than 0.0 logarithm (LogMAR) of the minimum angle of resolution. The participants were enrolled in December 2020, and the follow-up of this study concluded on August 2021. Children were assigned randomly to the intervention group (VRVT plus single-vision spectacle [
