Effects of Autostereoscopic 3D Visual Training on Binocular Vision Function of Myopes

Myopia Clinical Trial

Official title: Exploring the Effects of Autostereoscopic 3D Visual Training on Binocular Vision Function of Myopes Based on EEG and fNIRS

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This study intends to conduct a relatively comprehensive binocular visual function examination and follow-up on two groups of myopic subjects, one receiving autostereoscopic 3D vision training and the other receiving 2D vision training as a control. The aim is to explore the impact of autostereoscopic 3D vision training on the accommodation and convergence functions of myopes. Additionally, synchronized EEG-fNIRS signals will be collected to investigate whether changes in binocular visual function are accompanied by corresponding alterations in brain function.

Clinical Trial Description

The prevalence of myopia is increasing, posing a serious threat to our visual health. East Asia and Southeast Asia are high-prevalence areas for myopia, with over 80% of young people suffering from myopia. China has one of the highest rates of myopia globally. Preventing myopia occurrence and controlling its progression have become urgent public health issues.

Accommodative function may play an important role in the development of myopia. Studies indicate that factors such as hyperopic defocus caused by accommodation lag, prolonged near-plane fixation, and decreased accommodative flexibility may be associated with the occurrence and development of myopia. Convergence function works synergistically with accommodative function, and its impact on myopia is gradually gaining attention. Scientific and effective training methods to improve both accommodation and convergence functions might help slow down the progression of myopia.

Research by Huang et al. suggests that visual training based on autostereoscopic 3D display technology can improve accommodative lag and enhance accommodative flexibility. However, this study only explored the immediate effects of a single training session, and the long-term effects remain unknown. Furthermore, questions about how training induces changes in the convergence function, whether changes in accommodative function coincide with changes in the convergence function, etc., still need further investigation.

Therefore, this study intends to conduct a relatively comprehensive binocular visual function examination and follow-up on two groups of myopic subjects, one receiving autostereoscopic 3D vision training and the other receiving 2D vision training as a control. The aim is to explore the impact of autostereoscopic 3D vision training on the accommodation and convergence functions of myopes. Additionally, synchronized EEG-fNIRS signals will be collected to investigate whether changes in binocular visual function are accompanied by corresponding alterations in brain function. ;
