Kids' vision study: outdoor time and nearsightedness
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 and 14 years old.
- Your child must have nearsightedness (myopia) of at least -0.50 diopters.
- Your child must have good vision that can be corrected with glasses or contacts.
- Your child must have overall good eye and body health.
- Your child must speak English well enough to understand the study details.
- Your child must be willing to use contacts or other treatments to slow myopia for one year.

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 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.
This trial tests a new type of spectacle lens designed to slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children. If your child is between 6 and 10 years old, has mild to moderate nearsightedness, and is willing to wear glasses full-time for two years, this study may be a good fit.
This study tests if optimizing daily light exposure can prevent or slow down nearsightedness (myopia) in children. It involves wearing a light-tracking device and spending time in specially lit classrooms.
This study looks at how well children can see and move while wearing special glasses for myopia (nearsightedness). It helps researchers understand if the glasses improve daily activities.
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.
