Glasses program to improve blurry vision in rural schoolchildren
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving the right glasses to children with myopia (near-sightedness) can improve their eyesight and help them attend school more regularly. Better vision may make it easier to see the board and participate in class.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be in Year 1 (about age 12–13) at one of the study schools
- Have poor eyesight in both eyes without glasses (worse than or equal to 6/12)
- Your eye test must show specific types/amounts of refractive error (near-sightedness and/or astigmatism) that are likely to improve with glasses
- Glasses should be able to improve your vision to at least 6/7.5 in at least one eye
- You should not have another important eye problem (other than refractive error)

This study tests whether a school-based program can help slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children who are either already nearsighted or at risk of becoming nearsighted. It may help reduce the need for stronger glasses in the future.
This study tests whether a school-based program can help prevent nearsightedness (myopia) in children who currently have good distance vision and enough 'eye reserve' (hyperopic reserve) to potentially avoid becoming nearsighted. It focuses on early elementary students to see if simple activities can keep their eyes healthy.
This trial provides free glasses to middle school students with myopia in rural Liaoning Province to see if better vision helps them get into high school. It tests whether correcting vision can improve academic outcomes.
This study tests whether wearing reading glasses can slow or prevent nearsightedness from getting worse in children. It follows kids for up to five years to see how their vision changes over time.
This trial tests two types of glasses for children who are nearsighted (myopic). The goal is to see which lenses are more comfortable, easier to adjust to, and more satisfying for the child.
This study tests two types of special glasses (MiYOSMART) for children with nearsightedness (myopia). The aim is to see how well they slow the progression of myopia while being comfortable and safe to wear.
