New soft contact lenses to slow myopia progression in children
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether special soft contact lenses can slow down myopia (nearsightedness) worsening in children ages 7–12. If the lenses work, they could help reduce the need for stronger glasses over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 7 and 12 years old and a Hong Kong Chinese schoolchild
- Your myopia (nearsightedness) ranges from -0.75 to -5.00 diopters in both eyes, with minimal astigmatism or eye imbalance
- Your eyes have shown clear myopia progression recently (worsening by at least 0.50 diopters per year)
- Your eyes are healthy with no prior injury, surgery, or eye disease, and your overall health doesn't affect your vision
- You have never used myopia control treatments (atropine, ortho-k, red-light therapy, special lenses, or supplements)
- You can commit to wearing contact lenses at least 10 hours daily, 6+ days per week for 2 years, and attend all study visits

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 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 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 spectacle lens designed to slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children aged 6 to 8. It may be a good option for kids who are mildly to moderately nearsighted and haven't used other myopia control treatments.
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 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.
