In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This is a prospective, school-based randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate auricular acupressure for myopia prevention in non-myopic primary school students with insufficient hyperopic reserve. Enrolled students in grades 1 to 4 will be randomly assigned to either an auricular acupressure intervention or usual daily activities without additional study-related myopia prevention intervention. Outcomes will include changes in axial length and cycloplegic spherical equivalent refraction, incident myopia, intervention adherence, and safety outcomes over 12 months.
