Combination contact lens and atropine for myopia control in children
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests a special contact lens combined with atropine eye drops to see if they work better together to slow down worsening nearsightedness (myopia) in children. It might be a good option if your child's eyes are getting more nearsighted and they haven't tried other treatments yet.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 7 and 12 years old.
- Their nearsightedness must be mild to moderate (between -0.75 and -4.50 diopters).
- They must have little or no astigmatism (less than 1.12 diopters of cylinder).
- They must have healthy eyes with no need for eye medications or infections.
- They cannot have used any prior myopia control treatments or been in a myopia study before.

This trial tests whether a combination of low-dose atropine eye drops (0.02% or 0.04%) and special glasses (called DIMS) can slow down the worsening of moderate to high myopia in children aged 6 to 12.
This trial tests two low-dose atropine eye drops (0.01% and 0.02%) to see if they can safely slow down the worsening of nearsightedness (myopia) in children. Your child would receive either one of these drops or a placebo (an inactive drop) once daily for up to 2 years.
This study tests whether low-dose atropine eye drops can prevent or slow down nearsightedness in children ages 6–11 who don't yet need glasses. The goal is to keep children's vision stable and reduce their need for corrective lenses as they grow.
This trial tests whether atropine eye drops can slow down worsening nearsightedness (myopia) in children and teenagers. It may help keep their eyesight from getting worse over time.
This study tests whether atropine eye drops can slow down worsening nearsightedness in children. It is for children whose nearsightedness is getting worse quickly and who have not tried other treatments.
This study tests a program to prevent or slow down early nearsightedness (myopia) in children ages 3 to 6. It aims to find out if certain eye care methods can help keep their vision healthy.
