NCT ID NCT06450132
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tracks 75 nearsighted young adults over 12 months to see how low-dose atropine eye drops or soft multifocal contact lenses affect the shape of the eye. Participants are randomly assigned to one of these treatments or no treatment. Researchers will take eye photos and measure vision changes to understand how these interventions work.
