This study tests new glasses designed to help slow down nearsightedness in children. It may help if your child already wears special myopia-control glasses and is looking for a new option.
This study tests two types of glasses for children with short-sightedness (myopia) to see which one works better. The photochromic lenses darken in sunlight and might be more convenient for outdoor activities.
This study tests a new eye-measuring device in children and teens (ages 6–17) who need a standard eyeglass prescription test. It checks if the device gives accurate results compared to current equipment, and may include follow-up visits over 3–6 months.
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 trial tests whether special glasses with small lens segments can help prevent nearsightedness in young children who are at higher risk. Taking part may help keep your child's vision from getting worse as they grow.
