Can special lenses plus eye drops stop Kids' myopia from getting worse?
NCT ID NCT06358755
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether combining special glasses (that create optical defocus) with low-dose atropine eye drops can better control myopia (nearsightedness) in children aged 7 to 12. Over 18 months, researchers will measure changes in eye prescription and eye length. The goal is to find a more effective way to slow myopia progression.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
low-dose atropine (0.01%) eye drops
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination approach could offer a more effective way to slow down worsening nearsightedness in children, potentially reducing the need for stronger glasses later.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial (112 children) and results may not apply to all ethnicities or ages. The atropine drops can cause side effects like light sensitivity or blurred near vision.
