Do special glasses slow myopia in children?
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests whether special Rodenstock glasses can slow down the worsening of nearsightedness (myopia) in children. It's for kids aged 6 to 12 who have never had myopia treatment before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 and 12 years old.
- They must be nearsighted (myopia) and have never had treatment for it before.
- Their nearsightedness should be between -0.50 and -5.00 diopters (a measure of prescription strength).
- Any difference in prescription between the two eyes must be less than 1.50 diopters.
- Their astigmatism (if present) must be less than 1.50 diopters, and not an irregular type.
- They must have good vision when wearing glasses (20/25 or better in each eye, and 20/20 or better with both eyes).

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 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 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 tests new eyeglass lenses designed with tiny patterns to help slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children ages 6–8. If the lenses work, they could help reduce the need for stronger glasses as your child grows.
This study tests if special Essilor® spectacle lenses can slow down the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) in children. It aims to see if the lenses are comfortable and well-tolerated by young patients.
This study compares special glasses designed to slow nearsightedness (myopia) with regular glasses in children and teens. It aims to see which type better protects your child's eyesight over time.
