Combining vision training with atropine for children's myopia
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding 18 minutes of daily virtual-reality vision training to nightly atropine eye drops can better slow myopia progression in children aged 6 to 12. It compares this combo to using atropine and special glasses alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 and 12 years old with nearsightedness in both eyes, and the right eye is used for the study.
- Within the last month, a dilated eye exam must show a prescription between -1.00 and -6.00 diopters, with low astigmatism (≤2.00) and small difference between eyes (≤1.00).
- Your child's vision with glasses must be good (20/25 or better) in both eyes.
- You must agree to follow the study plan: either do 18 minutes of VR training each evening plus nightly atropine drops, or just use the drops, and both groups wear special 'defocus' glasses for at least 10 hours per day.
- You need to attend follow-up visits at 1, 6, and 12 months, and the child and guardian must sign a consent form.
- Your child must not have used any other myopia control treatments (like ortho-k, atropine, or phototherapy) in the past 6 months, and must not have certain eye or health conditions.

This trial tests whether a combination of low-dose atropine eye drops (0.02% or 0.04%) and special glasses (called DIMS) can slow down the worsening of moderate to high myopia in children aged 6 to 12.
This study tests whether special glasses (called H.O.P.E. lenses) combined with a low-dose atropine eye drop can slow down the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) in children. It aims to help keep your child's vision from getting worse as they grow.
This study tests whether combining a special contact lens with atropine eye drops can slow down the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children. It aims to find a more effective way to prevent their vision from getting worse.
This study tests a program to prevent or slow down early nearsightedness (myopia) in children ages 3 to 6. It aims to find out if certain eye care methods can help keep their vision healthy.
This study tests whether special glasses or low-dose atropine eye drops can slow down worsening nearsightedness in children. It compares four groups: glasses alone, eye drops alone, both together, or a placebo (no active treatment).
This study tests whether low-dose atropine eye drops can prevent or slow down nearsightedness in children ages 6–11 who don't yet need glasses. The goal is to keep children's vision stable and reduce their need for corrective lenses as they grow.
