What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

Summary

This study looks at how children with myopia (nearsightedness) move their eyes and heads while doing close-up tasks with different types of glasses. It compares standard single-vision lenses with special myopia control lenses to see if these lenses change viewing behavior and whether wearing them for one month affects eye length. The findings could help improve lens designs to better manage myopia in children.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Myopia control spectacle lenses (Stellest) compared with standard single vision lenses
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help refine myopia control lens designs to better slow eye growth in children.
What could go wrong
This is a small, short-term study, so results may not apply broadly or predict long-term effects on myopia progression.
