This is a randomized controlled trial aimed to explore the effect of behavioral interventions based on doctors' and nurses' health education on the onset and development of myopia in children's. Participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: eye health intervention, or the control group. Intervention group's parents would reveive eye health education in response to their children's myopia progression at baseline, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months, while the control group did not receive any. Visual acuity, cycloplegic refraction, axial length, Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item Scale were the main outcomes and measures.
After doctors' and nurses' education, parents would keep a diary to regulate the children's "Sedentary", "Sunshine", "Sleep", "Screen", and "Stress" that is, the "5S" eye education. To urging parents pay attention to the children's eye behavior every day, and targeted to children "eye" education to delay the occurrence and development of myopia and reduce the incidence of high myopia.

Axial Length
Ocular biometry was used for measuring the axial length, which is the physical distance between the anterior corneal pole and the retinal structure at the posterior pole.
Time frame: Baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months.
Cycloplegic Refraction
Cycloplegic refractive errors were measured with an autorefractor.
Time frame: Baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months.
Visual acuity
The visual acuity of the children is assessed through a self-administered vision test conducted by their guardians via WeChat mini program.
Time frame: Baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months.
Anxiety Disorder Screening 7-item Scale
Assessing changes in parents' anxiety before and after the intervention.
Time frame: Baseline, 6 month
Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire
Assessing changes in parent-child relationships before and after the intervention.
Time frame: Baseline, 6 month.
