Investigational Bifidobacterium Preparation MR-61Placebo for MR-61
Investigational Bifidobacterium Preparation MR-61: Oral administration of the investigational probiotic powder MR-61. The primary component is Bifidobacterium. Dosage: one sachet, 2-3 times daily, for 3 months.
Placebo for MR-61: Oral administration of a matched placebo powder. Dosage: one sachet, 2-3 times daily, for 3 months.
Study summary
To investigate whether probiotic MR-61 can assist in slowing down the progression rate of myopia (a prospective randomized controlled study).

Inclusion Criteria:
1. Myopia is defined as spherical equivalent (SE) ≤ -0.5D.
2. Aged between 3 and 18 years, with no restriction on gender.
3. Cylinder power ≤ 1.50D; anisometropia of SE between both eyes ≤ 1.50D.
4. The subject has sufficient compliance with the study follow-up; the subject or their guardian has the intention to receive treatment and has signed the informed consent form.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Presence of other concomitant ocular diseases;
2. Abnormal findings on clinical slit-lamp examination;
3. Existence of amblyopia, manifest strabismus, esotropia, or other congenital ocular diseases;
4. Individuals with abnormal intraocular pressure or abnormal axial length of the eye;
5. Either or both parents having a spherical equivalent (SE) ≤ -6.00D;
6. Other conditions inconsistent with this study.
Primary outcome measure(s)
Change in Spherical Equivalent Refraction — Measured at baseline, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 13, 14, 19, and 25 months post-intervention. The change in spherical equivalent refraction (SER) from baseline to each follow-up visit, measured in diopters (D). SER is calculated as the spherical power plus half of the cylindrical power. A negative change indicates an increase in myopia.
