STORM was a school-based intervention study, recruiting 16 schools from 8 districts in Shanghai, from October 2016 to December 2018. Children without myopia at baseline who consistently wore a smartwatch for a minimum of 6 hours daily, sustained for at least 90 days, and who had complete information were included.

The mean (SD) daily time outdoors was 90 (28) minutes, and the mean (SD) sunlight intensity was 2345 (486) lux. Of the 12 outdoor exposure patterns, the major outdoor exposure patterns were time outdoors with at least 15 minutes, accounting for 74.9% of minutes (33\u202f677\u202f584 of 45\u202f016\u202f800 minutes). Only patterns with at least 15 minutes accompanied with no less than 2000 lux were associated with less myopic shift in refraction (for \u226515 minutes and 2000 to 3999 lux, \u22120.007 diopter [D] [95% CI, \u22120.011 to \u22120.002 D]; for \u226515 minutes and \u22654000 lux, \u22120.006 D [95% CI, \u22120.010 to \u22120.002 D]).

myopia in
