Reading glasses for solar customers in Kenya
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving free reading glasses to people with age-related close-up vision problems (presbyopia) helps them work and manage their solar payment plans better. If you qualify, you may receive reading glasses at no cost.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are aged 40 or older
- You have trouble seeing things up close (but not far away), and reading glasses can fix it
- Your distance vision is fairly good (with or without glasses) – no worse than 20/40
- You bought an entry-level solar product (costing about KES 7,000 to 30,000) at least 3 months ago, with at least 6 months of payments left
- You don't already own reading glasses

This study compares how people with presbyopia (age-related blurry near vision) feel about their quality of life when wearing single-vision glasses versus progressive lenses. It aims to see which type of glasses helps them see better and feel more satisfied.
This study tests whether special reading glasses can improve close-up vision and reduce eye strain in textile workers over 40. If you have trouble seeing close work and often get tired eyes, this might help.
This trial tests a device that may help people who need reading glasses to see nearby objects more clearly without them. It could be an option if you have good distance vision but need help with close-up tasks like reading.
This study tests special glasses with a small built-in reading help to see how they affect your eyes' focusing and coordination during tasks like reading or using a computer. It may help researchers understand if these glasses are comfortable and effective for young adults who spend long hours doing close-up work.
This trial tests special glasses that may help slow down the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children and young adults. The glasses use a specific lens design that might temporarily change the length of the eye, which could be important for controlling myopia.
This trial tests a village-based approach to bring eye care closer to older community members. If you live in the right area and are willing to participate, it may help improve access to eye screening and services.
