This prospective randomized controlled clinical trial will be conducted in Myopia Research Lab, L V Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad and the study protocol will adhere to the tenets of the Declaration of Helsinki. Participants will be recruited through advertisements in local print media (newspaper), approaching schools, through clinical referrals. Children will be assigned to either the control group or intervention group randomly based on computer-generated random numbers operated by the investigator. All participants will undergo a cycloplegic refractive error assessment after the instillation of tropicamide 1% eye drops (or cyclopentolate 1% eye drops in case of varying refractive error between objective and subjective values). Axial length and cycloplegic refractive measurements will be taken with using Lenstar LS900 biometer and Shin- Nippon autorefractor respectively for scheduled follow up and will be compared with the baseline parameters.
