The Claim
In pre-myopic children aged 6–10 years, the combination of distant-image screen technology with optical defocusing (+1.0 D) may further reduce the incidence of myopia compared to distant-image screen technology alone, though this synergistic effect has not yet been demonstrated in clinical trials.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In children aged 6 to 10 who are at risk of developing myopia, using screens designed to project distant images along with special lenses that create optical defocusing may lower the rate of myopia development compared to using the screens alone.

In pre-myopic children aged 6–10 years, combining distant-image screen technology with optical defocusing (+1.0 D) may further reduce the incidence of myopia compared to DIST alone, though this synergistic effect has not yet been demonstrated in clinical trials.
When a child looks at a screen designed to appear far away, the eye doesn't need to focus tightly, and at the same time, a special lens adds a gentle blur around the edges of vision. This combination tells the back of the eye to stop growing longer, which prevents the eye from becoming nearsighted.
What the research says
1 studyThis study is testing whether a special screen that makes text look far away, plus special blurry glasses, works better at stopping kids from becoming nearsighted than the screen alone — but it hasn’t finished yet. So far, the screen alone looks promising, and the study is designed to find out if adding the glasses helps even more.
