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 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 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 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 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.
