Preventing nearsightedness and other health issues in kids
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests an intervention to prevent nearsightedness (myopia) and other health problems in children. It may help your child if they are in grades 3-4, aged 8-11, and generally healthy.

This trial tests if a digital program can help parents learn how to prevent and manage nearsightedness (myopia) in their young children. It also looks at how the program affects children's overall health and wellbeing.
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 if optimizing daily light exposure can prevent or slow down nearsightedness (myopia) in children. It involves wearing a light-tracking device and spending time in specially lit classrooms.
This study tests whether a school-based program can help slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children who are either already nearsighted or at risk of becoming nearsighted. It may help reduce the need for stronger glasses in the future.
This study tests a new prediction system that aims to slow down or prevent nearsightedness (myopia) in children. It is for kids ages 9–11 who are already somewhat nearsighted but not severely, and don't have other eye or health problems.
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.
