Light therapy to prevent and control nearsightedness in kids
Treatments studied
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 7 and 10 years old (by January 2025 or 2026).
- Your child is in Primary 2 or 3 at a participating school in 2025 or 2026.

- Your child has no eye problems besides needing glasses (like glaucoma, retinal disease, or serious eye infections).
- Your child is generally healthy and has no serious health conditions (like epilepsy or cancer).
- Your child has not used special myopia-control treatments (like certain eye drops, special contact lenses, or light therapy) before.

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 is testing whether special glasses can slow down the start or worsening of nearsightedness (myopia) in children who are not yet nearsighted but are at risk. Your child would be monitored over time, and some children will receive the special glasses.
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 a special lens designed to slow down nearsightedness (myopia) in children. It is for kids who spend at least one hour a day on screens and currently wear regular glasses.
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 a new device that uses special light to slow down or prevent myopia (nearsightedness) in children aged 6 to 18. It compares the device to a fake treatment to see if it works.
