Special glasses for slowing myopia in children
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 special glasses designed to slow down the progression of nearsightedness in children who have a small amount of farsightedness. It may help prevent myopia from developing or worsening.
This study tests a new type of eyeglass lenses (called Myoless2.0) designed to slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children. If your child is eligible, they would wear these special glasses to help reduce the risk of their prescription getting worse over time.
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 special spectacle lens designed to slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children aged 6 to 8. It may be a good option for kids who are mildly to moderately nearsighted and haven't used other myopia control treatments.
