Treatments for fast-progressing nearsightedness after ortho-k lenses
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study compares different ways to slow down fast-progressing nearsightedness in children who already wear Ortho-K (night-time contact lenses). If your child's eyes still grew quickly during the first year of Ortho-K, this trial may look at adding treatments like atropine eye drops or red-light therapy to help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child was 8 to 12 years old when they first started wearing Ortho-K lenses.
- Nearsightedness at the start was between -0.50 and -6.00 diopters in both eyes.
- During the first year of Ortho-K, the eye grew at a faster-than-normal rate (more than 0.30 mm) in at least one eye.
- Child can wear Ortho-K lenses overnight for 8 to 10 hours.
- No eye surgery, trauma, or ongoing eye inflammation (like pink eye).
- Same brand of Ortho-K lenses used throughout the study period.

This study compares three ways to slow down nearsightedness in children: special glasses (defocus lenses), regular glasses, and orthokeratology contact lenses (worn overnight). It aims to find which works best for kids who have never worn glasses before.
This study tests a new type of eyeglass lenses (called Myoless2.0) designed to slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children. If your child is eligible, they would wear these special glasses to help reduce the risk of their prescription getting worse over time.
This trial tests a special eyeglass lens designed to slow down the worsening of nearsightedness (myopia) in children ages 6 to 14. It aims to keep their eyesight from getting worse quickly.
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 study tests a special tool called the S.T.O.P. KIT that may slow down the natural lengthening of the eye in children with mild farsightedness. If effective, it could help reduce the risk of myopia (nearsightedness) later on.
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.
