Testing a new spectacle lens for slowing myopia in kids 6–8
This study tests a special spectacle lens designed to slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children aged 6 to 8. It may be a good option for kids who are mildly to moderately nearsighted and haven't used other myopia control treatments.

Glasses or eye drops for slowing nearsightedness in kids
This study tests whether special glasses or low-dose atropine eye drops can slow down worsening nearsightedness in children. It compares four groups: glasses alone, eye drops alone, both together, or a placebo (no active treatment).

Delaying Nearsightedness Onset in Children
This study tests whether low-dose atropine eye drops can prevent or slow down nearsightedness in children ages 6–11 who don't yet need glasses. The goal is to keep children's vision stable and reduce their need for corrective lenses as they grow.

What taking part in a myopia study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
