School program to prevent nearsightedness in kids with good eye reserve
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether a school-based program can help prevent nearsightedness (myopia) in children who currently have good distance vision and enough 'eye reserve' (hyperopic reserve) to potentially avoid becoming nearsighted. It focuses on early elementary students to see if simple activities can keep their eyes healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be in grades 1 through 4 at a participating school
- Have good distance vision without glasses (not nearsighted)
- Have a specific amount of 'eye reserve' (farsightedness) based on age, measured by an eye exam with dilating drops
- Parent or guardian must sign a consent form, and the child must agree to participate
- Not have any eye conditions like crossed eyes (strabismus) or lazy eye (amblyopia), and no other health issues that could interfere
- Not have used any myopia prevention treatments (like special eye drops or glasses) in the past 3 months

This study tests whether a school-based program can help slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children who are either already nearsighted or at risk of becoming nearsighted. It may help reduce the need for stronger glasses in the future.
This study tests a school-based program to help prevent nearsightedness (myopia) in children who are not yet nearsighted but have a higher risk of developing it. It uses a simple, non-invasive method called auricular acupressure, which involves placing small seeds on the ear, to see if it can keep eyes healthy and reduce the chance of needing glasses.
This study looks at ways to prevent and control nearsightedness (myopia) in children. By joining, your child can get regular eye check-ups and help researchers learn what works best to keep their vision clear.
This trial tests whether special glasses with small lens segments can help prevent nearsightedness in young children who are at higher risk. Taking part may help keep your child's vision from getting worse as they grow.
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 if a special virtual reading device can slow or prevent nearsightedness (myopia) in children who are starting to show signs of it. It's for kids ages 6 to 12 with mild farsightedness or beginning nearsightedness and at least one parent who is nearsighted.
