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.

This trial tests special glasses designed to slow or prevent nearsightedness (myopia) in young children ages 3 to 6. It may help if your child has mild farsightedness or low nearsightedness and at least one parent is nearsighted.
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 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 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 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.
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.
