Contact lens to slow myopia in children
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests a special contact lens designed to slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children ages 8 to 12. If your child is nearsighted and needs glasses, this lens might help reduce the need for stronger prescriptions over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 8 years old and 12 years 11 months old.
- Your child's nearsightedness is between -0.75 and -4.00 diopters in both eyes (measured with eye drops).
- Your child has never worn hard contact lenses or received any other myopia control treatment (like special glasses, atropine eye drops, or multifocal contacts).
- Your child agrees to wear the study contact lenses at least 10 hours a day, 6 days a week for 2 years.
- Your child has good general health and no major eye problems (like cataracts, keratoconus, or previous eye surgery).
- Your child has a pair of wearable glasses as a backup.
- Your child was not born before 30 weeks or weighing less than 1,500 grams.

This study tests whether special soft contact lenses can slow down myopia (nearsightedness) worsening in children ages 7–12. If the lenses work, they could help reduce the need for stronger glasses over time.
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 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 trial tests whether special glasses lenses can slow down worsening nearsightedness (myopia) in children and teens aged 6-14. The goal is to see if these lenses help keep vision from getting worse over a year.
This trial tests special contact lenses that are designed to slow down the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in adults. If you are 18-30, wear contacts, and your myopia has been worsening, this could be an option to help stabilize your vision.
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.
