A number of environmental factors are believed to play a role in the development of myopia, including education. The association between education and myopia may reflect a number of factors such as near work activities and less time spent outdoors, however the causal pathways are not yet fully understood.
We are interested in looking at the educational level of young adults, their time spent outdoors and the link to both of these factors with myopia development.
Participants receive a free comprehensive eye examination and answer questionnaires about general eye health and time spent outdoors. For more information, please contact the Clinical Trials Office on (08) 9381 0750 or email clinicalresearch@staging.lei.org.au
