Ear seeds vs. eye drops: new study aims to stop myopia before it starts
NCT ID NCT07475585
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether pressing tiny pellets on ear points can delay or prevent nearsightedness (myopia) in children aged 4 to 14 who are at high risk. It compares ear acupressure, low-dose atropine eye drops, and a combination of both. The goal is to find a safe, non-drug way to protect children's vision.
