New contact lens trial aims to stop worsening eyesight in children
NCT ID NCT05159765
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether NaturalVue multifocal contact lenses can slow the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) in children aged 7 to 12. Over three years, 144 kids will wear either standard single-vision lenses or the multifocal lenses. Researchers will measure changes in their prescription and eye length to see if the multifocal design helps control myopia.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- contact lenses
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a simple, non-invasive way to slow worsening nearsightedness in children, reducing their risk of serious eye problems later in life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a mid-stage trial with 144 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The lenses are already approved for vision correction, but their ability to slow myopia progression is still being tested.
