Dietary supplement for slowing short-sightedness in children
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests if a dietary supplement can slow the progression of short-sightedness (myopia) in children. It is designed for children aged 8-13 with mild to moderate myopia who are willing to try a supplement.

This study tests whether special soft contact lenses can slow down myopia (nearsightedness) worsening in children ages 7–12. If the lenses work, they could help reduce the need for stronger glasses over time.
This study tests whether specially designed glasses with multiple focus zones can slow down myopia (nearsightedness) progression in children. If your child has myopia that is worsening, these glasses may help protect their vision.
This study compares two types of glasses for children with nearsightedness (myopia). One type is designed to slow down myopia progression, and the other is a standard single-vision lens. The goal is to see if the special lenses help reduce how quickly myopia worsens.
This trial tests whether special glasses lenses can slow down worsening nearsightedness (myopia) in children and teens aged 6-14. The goal is to see if these lenses help keep vision from getting worse over a year.
This study tests an eye drop (QLM3004) to see if it can slow down the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children. It might be a good option if your child is between 6 and 12, has mild to moderate nearsightedness, and hasn't used other myopia treatments before.
This trial tests whether special Rodenstock glasses can slow down the worsening of nearsightedness (myopia) in children. It's for kids aged 6 to 12 who have never had myopia treatment before.
