New glasses could help Kids' eyes stop getting worse
NCT ID NCT07465900
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested special glasses called C.A.R.E. lenses in 100 children aged 6-12 with nearsightedness. The lenses have rings that change how light hits the eye to slow down eye growth. After 12 months, researchers measured changes in eye length and prescription strength to see if the glasses work.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- C.A.R.E. spectacle lenses (special glasses with rings that change how light hits the eye)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, these glasses could help slow down worsening nearsightedness in children, reducing the need for stronger prescriptions.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early study with no comparison group, so results may not apply to all children. The lenses must be worn full-time, which some kids may find uncomfortable.
