Orthokeratology lenses for nearsightedness and astigmatism
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests special contact lenses worn overnight to temporarily correct nearsightedness and astigmatism. It may help people who do not want to wear glasses during the day.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 6 and 40 years old.
- You have nearsightedness (myopia) with or without astigmatism, confirmed by an eye doctor.
- You do not want to wear glasses for daily activities.
- You are white (Caucasian) or from a non-East Asian background (such as Indian, Sri Lankan, Pakistani). Both of your parents must also not be East Asian.
- You are willing to follow the study schedule and care instructions for the lenses.

This study checks eye measurements (like “axial length,” the distance inside the eye) in adults with new-onset nearsightedness who are not using any myopia-control treatment yet. The results may help guide how myopia-control strategies are best applied.
This study compares three ways to slow down nearsightedness in children: special glasses (defocus lenses), regular glasses, and orthokeratology contact lenses (worn overnight). It aims to find which works best for kids who have never worn glasses before.
This study tests two types of implantable lenses that correct astigmatism (blurry vision from an irregularly shaped cornea). You keep your own natural lens, and the new lens is placed in front of it—no laser or lens removal needed. The goal is to see which lens works better and is safer.
This study tests how well children adapt to special myopia control lenses. It aims to see if these lenses are comfortable and easy to wear for kids with nearsightedness.
This study tests a new type of contact lens worn only at night while you sleep. It gently reshapes the front of your eye so you can see clearly during the day without glasses or regular contact lenses.
This trial tests a laser device to correct nearsightedness and astigmatism by reshaping the cornea without creating a flap. It may be a good option if you have stable vision and want to reduce your need for glasses or contacts.
