Could special contact lenses slow worsening eyesight in young adults?
NCT ID NCT05955638
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether dual focus contact lenses (MiSight) can slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in university students aged 18 to 21. Participants wear either the test lenses or standard single vision lenses for at least 10 hours a day. Researchers measure changes in eye length and prescription over time to see if the lenses reduce worsening eyesight.

- What this could lead to
- If effective, these lenses could offer a way to slow worsening nearsightedness in young adults, reducing the need for stronger prescriptions.
