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 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 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 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 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.
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.
This trial tests whether special glasses with small lens segments can help prevent nearsightedness in young children who are at higher risk. Taking part may help keep your child's vision from getting worse as they grow.
