Background and study aims
With the growth and aging of the global population, vision impairment caused by age-related eye diseases has become a significant public health challenge worldwide. Understanding the natural progression and related factors of eye structure and function, and comparing the differences in eye structure and function between high myopia (short-sighted) and non-high myopia populations, is particularly important. This study aims to explore eye and phenotypic traits in adults.

Who can participate?
Adults who permanently live in Guangzhou without serious eye or systemic diseases

What does the study involve?
Comprehensive eye and general tests are performed every 2 years for 6 years.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Participants receive comprehensive eye and general tests and one-on-one ophthalmologist consultations based on the exam results every 2 years. All the exams follow the normal clinical operation.

Where is the study run from?
Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University (China)

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
November 2022 to December 2030

Who is funding the study?
National Natural Science Foundation of China (China)

Who is the main contact?

Study objectivesThe project aims to explore the ocular and phenotypic traits in adults through a retrospective and prospective ambispective cohort.
Ethics approval(s)

Approved 11/12/2022, Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center Ethics Committee, Sun Yat-sen University (No.7 Jinsui Road, Zhujiang New Town, Guangzhou, 510060, China; +86 (0)20 87332529; zocethics@163.com), ref: 2022KYPJ247

Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedAdults with high myopia and non-high myopia control
InterventionThe HOPE study is a retrospective and prospective ambispective cohort study that includes adults from Guangzhou, China. By conducting follow-ups every 2 years over a continuous period of 6 years, an adult eye health profile is constructed. All ocular examinations will be performed at the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center (ZOC). The examinations include: questionnaire surveys (covering basic demographic information, general medical history, ocular disease history, lifestyle habits, cognitive function, dry eye scoring), general physical examinations (height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, blood pressure, lung capacity, grip strength, simple physical fitness tests), and ocular examinations (visual acuity, intraocular pressure, refraction, slit lamp examination, anterior segment photography, dry eye testing, comprehensive ocular surface analyzer, ocular biometry parameters, optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT angiography (OCTA), fundus photography, and ultra-widefield fundus imaging.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureRetinal and choroidal structures and blood flow measured by optical coherence tomography angiography at baseline and each follow-up visit (2, 4 and 6 years)
Secondary outcome measuresThere are no secondary outcome measures
Overall study start date10/11/2022
Completion date31/12/2030
