Reading glasses to prevent myopia in children
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether wearing reading glasses can slow down or prevent myopia (nearsightedness) from getting worse in children. It may help avoid the need for stronger glasses later.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be at least 6 years old.
- Your child must be able to see far objects at 20/20 level or better without glasses, but have mild nearsightedness (myopia) in a specific range.
- Your child must not already wear glasses or contact lenses.
- You and your child must be willing to use reading glasses as part of the study.
- You must be able to attend check-ups for five years.

This trial tests whether special Rodenstock glasses can slow down the worsening of nearsightedness (myopia) in children. It's for kids aged 6 to 12 who have never had myopia treatment before.
This study compares two types of glasses for children with nearsightedness (myopia). One type is designed to slow down myopia progression, and the other is a standard single-vision lens. The goal is to see if the special lenses help reduce how quickly myopia worsens.
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.
This trial tests special glasses lenses designed to slow down the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in young children. If your child is eligible, they will wear these lenses for a year to see if their eyesight changes less than with regular glasses.
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).
This trial tests whether special glasses with small lens segments can help prevent nearsightedness in young children who are at higher risk. Taking part may help keep your child's vision from getting worse as they grow.
