Special glasses to prevent nearsightedness in young children
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 3 and 6 years old

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 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.
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.
This trial tests a new type of spectacle lens designed to slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children. If your child is between 6 and 10 years old, has mild to moderate nearsightedness, and is willing to wear glasses full-time for two years, this study may be a good fit.
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.
