Special Glasses to Help Unequal Nearsightedness in Children
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether specially designed glasses can help children whose two eyes have very different levels of nearsightedness. The glasses aim to slow down how quickly the eyes become more nearsighted over one year.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child is between 6 and 12 years old
- Child has nearsightedness (myopia) in both eyes with a meaningful difference between them
- Child's vision can be corrected to near-normal with glasses (best corrected vision)
- Child must wear the study glasses at least 12 hours per day, 7 days a week for 12 months
- Child has never used atropine drops or hard contact lenses (orthokeratology) for myopia control
- Child is willing to attend regular clinic visits over 12 months and not use other myopia control treatments

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
This study tests whether a special pair of glasses (called Highly Aspherical Lenslet, or HAL) can safely control and slow down nearsightedness in children who also have an eye alignment problem (like crossed eyes or lazy eye). The glasses are designed to both help with vision and possibly improve how the eyes work together.
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.
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 special light-blocking glasses lenses to see if they can improve vision in children who have a large difference in farsightedness between their eyes. If successful, these lenses might be a new way to help the weaker eye see better.
