To evaluate the effectiveness of integrated people-centered eye car"365 Eye Care," in controlling myopia among children and adolescents northeast China. Additionally, study aimed to explore model's impact on different subgroups. A retrospective analysis was conducted changes spherical equivalent(∆SE) within one year 427 participants 494 control who underwent "365 Care"project at He Specialist Hospital from January 2021 December 2023. The Care"on vision protection analyzed. difference between two groups further analyzed when baseline SE constant. project included causes formulation individualized prevention plans, monthly examination visual status monitoring, assessing environment (including diet, light, table chair selection, etc.) 1-year change SE(∆SE) - 0.46 ± 0.36 for eyecare" group and- 1.82 1.14 (P < 0.001). pre-myopia, low myopia, moderate were significantly lower than group(P 0.001), 1.25D, 1.38D, 0.81D, respectively. There no high myopia. results showed that comprehensive care intervention helped slow down progression average effect level 0.71. model, eyecare," holds promise control. And earlier participated intervention, better effect.

It is not an exaggeration to say we are having a myopia epidemic (14). Whereas in most countries, emmetropia was normal, now countries like China where myopic refractive error the norm Obviously, genetics play important role, but effects of epigenetics cannot be underestimated, and researchers Xiao et al., have found, using NHANES data, that cis-β carotene significantly associated with risk high myopia. The results indeed fascinating as they did find association other micronutrients vitamins A, D, E, C, α-carotene, trans-βcarotene, lutein zeaxanthin. Another study performed by Xu data 2005-2008 showed although vitamin-D magnesium were protective against diabetic retinopathy effect primarily benefited individuals deficient magnesium. Thus, highlighting complex interplay nutrients health disease states.
