Virtual reading device trial for pre-myopic children
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests if a special virtual reading device can slow or prevent nearsightedness (myopia) in children who are starting to show signs of it. It's for kids ages 6 to 12 with mild farsightedness or beginning nearsightedness and at least one parent who is nearsighted.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 6 and 12 years old.
- Your vision is mildly farsighted or slightly nearsighted but not too severe.
- At least one of your parents wears glasses or contacts for nearsightedness.
- No serious eye problems like cataracts, glaucoma, or strabismus.
- You have not used special contacts, glasses, or red-light therapy for myopia in the past 3 months.
- You have not taken certain eye medications (like atropine) in the past 3 months.

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.
This study tests whether a school-based program can help prevent nearsightedness (myopia) in children who currently have good distance vision and enough 'eye reserve' (hyperopic reserve) to potentially avoid becoming nearsighted. It focuses on early elementary students to see if simple activities can keep their eyes healthy.
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 study tests whether special contact lenses can help slow down nearsightedness (myopia) in children ages 8–10. Researchers want to see if wearing these lenses daily can help your child's eyes develop more normally and reduce the need for stronger glasses over time.
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 a special lens designed to slow down nearsightedness (myopia) in children. It is for kids who spend at least one hour a day on screens and currently wear regular glasses.
