Interventions to slow the progression of short-sightedness in children
In some areas of health and social care, the evidence from individual randomised trials answering questions about single interventions makes it difficult to choose between the interventions.

Here ' s lead author, John Lawrenson from City University of London in the UK, to tell us more. (Source: Podcasts from The Cochrane Library)
