LASIK for nearsightedness: measuring vision and satisfaction
This study tests how well a new type of LASIK (called ray-tracing-guided) improves vision in low light and how satisfied patients are with the results. It is for people with mild to moderate nearsightedness who want to stop wearing glasses or contacts.
Sioux Falls, South DakotaAges 18–45 - NCT02182921Recruiting

How streetscape views affect children's perception
This study uses eye-tracking glasses to see how children with and without myopia (nearsightedness) look at outdoor scenes from streets and neighborhoods. The results may help design environments that support healthy vision in children.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 6–18 - NCT06625749Recruiting
AccuraSee lens implant to improve near vision after cataract surgery
This trial tests an artificial lens (AccuraSee IOPCL) placed inside your eye to help you see better up close and at intermediate distances after having cataract surgery. It is for people who still need reading glasses and have a specific type of monofocal lens already in their eye.
Cleveland, OhioAges 22 years+ - NCT05832723Recruiting
Red light eye therapy for children with mild focusing error
This study tests whether low-intensity red light at 650 nm can help children and teens with mild problems focusing their eyes. It is designed to see if the treatment is safe and useful for the right type of refractive error.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 7–18 - NCT07721714RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two types of laser eye surgery for nearsightedness
This trial compares two laser vision correction methods: SMILE surgery in one eye and LASIK surgery in the other eye. It is designed for people with mild to moderate nearsightedness and astigmatism to see which approach works better.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 22–59 - NCT06650306Recruiting
Soft contact lenses and eye health in high myopia
This study looks at how wearing soft contact lenses affects the cornea and vision quality in people with high myopia before they have SMILE laser surgery. It may help doctors understand how to better prepare patients for the procedure.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–45 - NCT07642999Recruiting
How Children's Screen Time Affects Eye Development
This study tracks how much time children spend looking at screens versus outdoor activities and how that relates to their eye health over 3 years. Researchers will give your child a special device to wear at home to measure their visual habits.
New York, New YorkAges 7–12 - NCT06034379Recruiting
Special glasses vs. eye drops for nearsighted kids
This study compares two ways to slow down worsening nearsightedness in children: special electronic glasses versus low-dose atropine eye drops. It may help your child keep their eyesight from getting much worse over time.
HsinchuAges 6–13 - NCT06119243Recruiting
Kids' vision study: outdoor time and nearsightedness
This study tests if spending more time outdoors can help slow the worsening of nearsightedness (myopia) in children. It involves using special contact lenses and tracking vision changes over one year.
Berkeley, CaliforniaAges 4–14 - NCT07567040RecruitingPhase 3
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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 6–11 - NCT07547072Recruiting
Special Glasses to Slow Childhood Nearsightedness
This study tests whether specially designed glasses with multiple focus zones can slow down myopia (nearsightedness) progression in children. If your child has myopia that is worsening, these glasses may help protect their vision.
Kowloon, Hong KongAges 6–13 - NCT07547748Recruiting
Eye health services for rural children in China
This study tests a new way to provide eye care services in rural areas of China for children ages 3–18. Researchers want to see if bringing eye exams and vision services to schools and local communities helps more children get the eye care they need.
Lincang, YunnanAges 3–18 - NCT07537166Enrolling by invitation
Atropine Drops and Ear Acupressure for Childhood Myopia
This trial tests whether very low-dose atropine eye drops combined with acupressure on the ear can slow down myopia (nearsightedness) progression in children. Researchers will also check how the treatment affects the inner eye tissue.
Taichung, North StrictAges 6–12 - NCT07533149Recruiting
Special Glasses to Help Unequal Nearsightedness in Children
This study tests whether specially designed glasses can help children whose two eyes have very different levels of nearsightedness. The glasses aim to slow down how quickly the eyes become more nearsighted over one year.
SingaporeAges 6–13 - NCT06753773Recruiting
Red light therapy for short-term eye changes
This study tests if red light therapy can cause short-term changes in the back of the eye (the choroid and retina) in people with mild to moderate nearsightedness (myopia). It may help researchers understand if this therapy could be used to slow down or improve nearsightedness.
Hong KongAges 18–40 - NCT07512115Recruiting
Eye Surgery Alignment Study for Nearsightedness
This study tests whether a small adjustment during laser eye surgery for nearsightedness improves your vision outcomes. You'll be randomly assigned to receive either standard surgery or surgery with a minor compensation adjustment, and researchers will compare how well you see afterward.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–40 - NCT07512102Recruiting
Eye Surgery Approach for Nearsightedness With Specific Eye Alignment
This study compares two different computer-guided surgical techniques for correcting nearsightedness using a laser eye procedure called SMILE. The research tests whether adjusting for your eye's natural alignment during surgery affects your vision results.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–40 - NCT07505264Recruiting
Comparing two laser platforms for myopia surgery
This trial tests if a newer laser machine (VISUMAX 800) works as well as the current standard (VISUMAX 500) for correcting nearsightedness. It may help decide if the newer technology offers better outcomes for patients.
SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT06774651Recruiting
Comparing two laser eye surgery methods for vision correction
This trial compares two types of laser eye surgery (CLEAR and SMILE) to see which works better for nearsightedness and astigmatism. If you are eligible, it could help find the best option for your vision.
SingaporeAges 21–50 - NCT07440134Recruiting
Vision and posture study for teens with and without nearsightedness
This study looks at how nearsightedness affects vision and posture in teenagers. If you are 12 to 17 and either nearsighted or not, you may be able to join and help researchers understand more about these issues.
ParisAges 12–17 - NCT07424755Recruiting
AI eye test for cataract with high nearsightedness
This trial uses an artificial intelligence system to analyze detailed eye images from people who have both cataracts and severe nearsightedness (high myopia) with a specific eye shape (posterior staphyloma). The goal is to see if the AI can help doctors better understand and manage these conditions.
ShanghaiAges Any age - NCT05379855Recruiting
Eye drops for eye alignment and double-vision control in children

- Are there clinical trials for myopia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 122 recruiting myopia studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a myopia trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a myopia trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
