Can special glasses slow down nearsightedness in children?
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 and 10 years old.
- They need to have nearsightedness between -0.75 and -5.00 diopters (a standard glasses prescription).
- Their astigmatism (where the eye is shaped more like a football) must be no more than 2.50 diopters.
- The difference in prescription between the two eyes must be 1.00 diopter or less.
- Your child should have good vision when wearing their current glasses (20/25 or better).
- They must be willing to wear the study glasses for at least 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, for the full 2 years.

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 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 trial tests if special spectacle lenses (Highly Aspherical Lenslet) can control nearsightedness better than a binocular vision therapy in children with myopia and eye alignment problems (strabismus or phoria). It compares two non-invasive approaches and may help slow down worsening vision.
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 trial tests two types of glasses for children who are nearsighted (myopic). The goal is to see which lenses are more comfortable, easier to adjust to, and more satisfying for the child.
