Strength training for better eye health in young children
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests whether strength training can help improve eye health in young children. It may slow down or prevent nearsightedness as they grow.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is 5 to 7 years old and will be entering first grade soon.
- Your child is able to do physical exercise.
- Your child does not have heart disease.
- Your child does not have any respiratory problems (like asthma).

This study tests a program to help prevent nearsightedness and other health issues in children. It may help by encouraging healthy habits early in life.
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 follows children with normal vision to see who develops nearsightedness (myopia) and what factors might affect it. It aims to understand how eye development and environment together influence the need for glasses.
This study tests a computer-based vision training program to see if it can improve how children with mild nearsightedness (myopia) see fine details. It might help slow the progression of nearsightedness or improve visual sharpness.
This study tests whether repeated low-level red-light therapy can slow how fast nearsightedness (myopia) gets worse in children. It may help protect future eyesight, but your child must meet specific vision and health requirements and follow the study plan.
This trial tests special glasses that may help slow down the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children and young adults. The glasses use a specific lens design that might temporarily change the length of the eye, which could be important for controlling myopia.
