New Study Published in OVS

We’re excited to share that the Singh Lab, along with a global team of collaborators, have published a new study in Optometry and Vision Science (OVS), titled "Refractive Error and Axial Length (REAL) Study: Feasibility of a Population Study in the United States." This feasibility report presents cross-sectional data from 157 children ages 3 to 8 across three U.S. regions (Oakland, Greater Boston, and Houston) and lays the groundwork for a larger, longitudinal study on pediatric myopia and eye growth.

The REAL study was led by Dr. Singh, with Berkeley co-authors Cayle Concepcion and Dr. Celia Gong. The study emphasizes the growing public health need for contemporary, diverse eye growth data in young children to better inform early diagnosis and management of myopia.
