Retinal oxygen use in children with nearsightedness
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at how the retina (the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye) uses oxygen in children with myopia (nearsightedness) compared to children with normal vision. It may help doctors understand why some children become nearsighted and how to prevent it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child must be between 8 and 13 years old
- Parent or guardian must sign a consent form
- Child must be able to read letters for a standard eye test
- For children with myopia: must have nearsightedness of at least -1.0 diopter in both eyes
- For healthy controls: must have vision close to normal (between +0.5 and -0.5 diopter)
- No other eye problems, diseases linked to severe myopia, or major health issues

This study tests if spending more time outdoors can help slow the worsening of nearsightedness (myopia) in children. It involves using special contact lenses and tracking vision changes over one year.
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 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 special red light therapy can help slow down the progression of nearsightedness in children. It compares different amounts of light and how often it is used to find the best way to keep myopia from getting worse.
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 trial tests a new type of spectacle lens designed to slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children. If your child is between 6 and 10 years old, has mild to moderate nearsightedness, and is willing to wear glasses full-time for two years, this study may be a good fit.
