NCT ID NCT05778201
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed early-phase study tested a daily drink called Baby Drink, which contains lutein, blueberry extract, vitamins, and minerals, in 20 adults with mild myopia (nearsightedness less than 700 degrees). Participants took one 20 ml pack per day for one month. Researchers tracked eye fatigue using a questionnaire and measured visual acuity, eye length, and lens power. The goal was to see if the drink could reduce visual fatigue and protect vision.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Baby Drink (lutein, blueberry fermented liquid, vitamins, and minerals)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple dietary supplement to reduce eye strain and support vision in people with mild nearsightedness.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early-phase trial with only 20 participants and no comparison group. Results may not apply to the general population, and the drink is not a treatment for myopia itself.
