Do special glasses slow down myopia in children?
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether new spectacle lenses (glasses) can slow down the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children. It may be a good option if your child's myopia is getting worse and you want to try a non-invasive approach.
