NCT ID NCT07585877
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether taking branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) supplements for six months can slow the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) in young adults aged 18 to 25. Participants either receive BCAA supplements plus standard glasses or a placebo plus glasses. The goal is to see if this nutritional approach can safely reduce eye growth and prevent vision from getting worse.
