From China: Outdoor Exposure Patterns Associated With Less Myopic Shift in Children
Continuous outdoor exposure of at least 15 minutes accompanied with no less than 2,000 lux sunlight intensity is associated with less myopic shift among children, according to a study published online Aug. 13 in JAMA Network Open.
Jun Chen, Ph.D., from the Shanghai Eye Diseases Prevention and Treatment Center, and colleagues conducted a one-year prospective cohort study to examine the association of outdoor exposure patterns with myopic shift in children. Children without myopia who consistently wore a smartwatch for at least six hours daily, sustained for at least 90 days, were included in the study.
