NCT ID NCT03818880
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how a new type of eyeglass lens affects the back layer of the eye (the choroid) in children with worsening nearsightedness. Ten children already in a larger study will have their eye thickness measured with a special camera. The goal is to understand if the lens changes the eye in ways that could slow down nearsightedness.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help explain how special lenses slow down nearsightedness in children.
What could go wrong
