Reading glasses program to help prevent worsening nearsightedness
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a child of any sex who is at least 6 years old
- Have a parent or guardian who agrees to the study and signs consent
- Have low nearsightedness (eye measurement called “spherical equivalent” less than -0.5)
- Be able to see far away without glasses fairly well (about 1.0 in both eyes)
- Be willing to wear reading glasses as instructed
- Be able to stay in the study for about 5 years

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.
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 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 study tests whether repeated low-level red-light therapy can slow how fast nearsightedness (myopia) gets worse in children. It may help protect future eyesight, but your child must meet specific vision and health requirements and follow the study plan.
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 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.
