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.

Summary

This study tests whether special glasses with P.A.U.S.E. technology can slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children. About 205 Vietnamese children aged 6-14 will wear either the special lenses or regular glasses for one year, then all will wear the special lenses for another year. The goal is to see if these lenses reduce eye growth and the need for stronger prescriptions.
