Summary
This study tested a new type of spectacle lens designed to slow the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) in children. 159 kids aged 6 to 12 wore either the test lens or a standard lens. Researchers measured changes in eye length and prescription strength over time to see if the innovative lens was safe and effective.
