Special glasses to prevent nearsightedness in children
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study is testing whether special glasses can slow down the start or worsening of nearsightedness (myopia) in children who are not yet nearsighted but are at risk. Your child would be monitored over time, and some children will receive the special glasses.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 and 12 years old.
- Your child should not have worn glasses or contact lenses before.
- At least one parent must be nearsighted (myopic).
- Your child must not have any eye diseases or conditions (like lazy eye or crossed eyes).
- Your child must not be using any other myopia control treatments (like atropine drops or special lenses).

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 trial tests whether special Rodenstock glasses can slow down the worsening of nearsightedness (myopia) in children. It's for kids aged 6 to 12 who have never had myopia treatment before.
This study tests two types of special glasses (MiYOSMART) for children with nearsightedness (myopia). The aim is to see how well they slow the progression of myopia while being comfortable and safe to wear.
This trial tests whether ZEISS MyoCare glasses can slow down the worsening of nearsightedness (myopia) in children. It is designed for kids aged 7 to 13 who are already nearsighted and need stronger glasses over time.
This trial tests special glasses designed to slow or prevent nearsightedness (myopia) in young children ages 3 to 6. It may help if your child has mild farsightedness or low nearsightedness and at least one parent is nearsighted.
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.
