NCT ID NCT05886348
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether new spectacle lenses can safely slow the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) in children. About 249 kids will wear either the novel lenses or standard single vision glasses for 36 months. Researchers will measure changes in eye length and prescription strength to see if the new lenses work better.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Novel spectacle lenses (Model-A and Model-B)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, these lenses could offer a non-invasive way to slow down worsening nearsightedness in children, reducing the need for stronger prescriptions.
- What could go wrong
- This is a mid-sized trial, and results may not apply to all children. The lenses might not slow myopia better than standard glasses, and long-term effects are unknown.
