New glasses lens could slow Kids' nearsightedness
NCT ID NCT06647160
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a special lens called Blue Star MAX-5 can slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children aged 8 to 11. Two hundred kids will wear either the new lens or standard glasses and be checked every six months for two years. The goal is to see if the new lens reduces changes in eye prescription and eye growth.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Blue Star MAX-5 spectacle lens (a special lens with concentric columnar microstructures)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this lens could help slow down worsening nearsightedness in children, reducing the need for stronger glasses over time.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small trial (200 children) and results may not apply to all kids. The lens may not slow myopia better than standard glasses, and long-term effects are unknown.

Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 8 to 11 years; * Under the condition of bilateral cycloplegic autorefraction, the spherical refractive error of -6.00 to -0.50 D in each eye and astigmatism of not more than 1.50 D and anisometropia of not more than 1.50 D; * Best-corrected visual acuity of equal or better than 0.00 LogMAR (\>= 1.0 as Snellen). * The intraocular pressure of 10 to 21mmHg. * Volunteer to participate in this clinical trial with signature of the informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: * History of eye injury or intraocular surgery; * Clinically abnormal slit-lamp findings * Abnormal fundus examination * Ocular disease, such as uveitis and other inflammatory diseases, glaucoma, cataract, fundus diseases, eye tumors, dominant strabismus, and any eye diseases that affect visual function; * Systemic diseases causing low immunity (such as diabetes, Down's syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, psychotic patients or other diseases that researchers think are not suitable for wearing glasses); * Participation of the drug clinical trial within three month and the device clinical trial within one month; * Only one eye meets the inclusion criteria; * Unable to have regular follow-up * Participation of any myopia control clinical research trial within three months, and currently using rigid contact lenses (including nursingproducts), multifocal contact lenses, progressive multifocal lenses and other specially designed myopia control lenses, atropine drugs, etc.
