Special glasses vs. regular glasses for slowing nearsightedness in kids
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 and 18 years old.
- Your child needs to be nearsighted with a prescription between -0.50 and -4.00 diopters.
- The amount of astigmatism (blur from an irregularly shaped cornea) must be 2.50 diopters or less.
- The difference in prescription between the two eyes must be less than 1.25 diopters.
- Your child's nearsightedness must have worsened by at least 0.50 diopters in the past year.
- Your child cannot have certain eye diseases (like glaucoma, cataracts, or retinal problems) or conditions like strabismus (eyes that don't align).

This study tests whether specially designed glasses with multiple focus zones can slow down myopia (nearsightedness) progression in children. If your child has myopia that is worsening, these glasses may help protect their vision.
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 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 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 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.
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.
