School program to slow nearsightedness in children
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is in grades 1 to 4 at a participating primary school.
- Your child has mild farsightedness that may lead to nearsightedness, or already has nearsightedness.
- A parent or guardian must give permission, and the child must agree to take part.
- Your child must be willing to attend check-ups during the study.
- Your child has not had any other myopia prevention treatment in the last 3 months.
- Your child does not have eye problems like crossed eyes or lazy eye, and has no skin issues on the ear that would prevent ear acupressure.

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 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.
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 new eyeglass lenses designed with tiny patterns to help slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children ages 6–8. If the lenses work, they could help reduce the need for stronger glasses as your child grows.
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 whether wearing reading glasses can slow or prevent nearsightedness from getting worse in children. It follows kids for up to five years to see how their vision changes over time.
