Lenses for slowing nearsightedness in children
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests special glasses lenses designed to slow down the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in young children. If your child is eligible, they will wear these lenses for a year to see if their eyesight changes less than with regular glasses.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 and 8 years old.
- Your child's eyes must be slightly farsighted or have no prescription (between 0 and +1.00 diopters).
- Your child's astigmatism (blurry vision due to an irregularly shaped cornea) must be 1.00 diopter or less.
- The difference in prescription between your child's two eyes must be 1.00 diopter or less.
- Your child must have good corrected vision (at least 1.0 on a standard eye chart).
- Your child must not have used any myopia control methods (like special glasses, atropine drops, or red light therapy) in the past 3 months.
- You must be willing to ensure your child wears the glasses at least 8 hours per day and attend 4 follow-up visits over 12 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 study tests a special contact lens designed to slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children ages 8 to 12. If your child is nearsighted and needs glasses, this lens might help reduce the need for stronger prescriptions 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 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 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 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.
