Special glasses for nearsighted children with eye alignment problems
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special pair of glasses (called Highly Aspherical Lenslet, or HAL) can safely control and slow down nearsightedness in children who also have an eye alignment problem (like crossed eyes or lazy eye). The glasses are designed to both help with vision and possibly improve how the eyes work together.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child must be between 5 and 12 years old.
- Nearsightedness (myopia) must be between -1 and -6 diopters in at least one eye.
- Nearsightedness must have worsened by at least 0.5 diopters in the past year.
- Must have a type of eye misalignment called strabismus or a condition called exophoria/esophoria (eye teaming problem).
- Cannot have used other myopia control treatments (like atropine drops, special glasses, or contacts) in the past year.
- No eye surgery planned in the next year, and no other eye diseases besides myopia and eye misalignment.

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 tests whether specially designed glasses can help children whose two eyes have very different levels of nearsightedness. The glasses aim to slow down how quickly the eyes become more nearsighted over one year.
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 study tests special glasses designed to slow down the progression of nearsightedness in children who have a small amount of farsightedness. It may help prevent myopia from developing or worsening.
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.
