Smart glasses aim to stop Kids' eyesight from getting worse
NCT ID NCT07264361
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 29, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests special glasses called D.D.C dual-control lenses to see if they can slow down worsening nearsightedness (myopia) in children aged 6 to 14. Over 24 months, 316 kids will wear either the new lenses or standard glasses. The goal is to measure changes in eye prescription and eye length. If the lenses work, they could help reduce the need for stronger glasses over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- D.D.C dual-control technology spectacle lenses
- What this could lead to
- If successful, these lenses could offer a better way to slow down worsening nearsightedness in children, reducing the need for stronger prescriptions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage device trial with no prior efficacy data. The effect may be small or not last, and the lenses might not be comfortable for all children.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age between 6 and 14 years; * Cycloplegic spherical equivalent refraction between -1.50 D and -5.00 D with astigmatism ≥ -1.50 D in both eyes; * Absolute interocular difference in spherical equivalent refraction ≤ 1.50 D; * Binocular best-corrected visual acuity ≥ 1.0; * Intraocular pressure between 10 and 21 mmHg in both eyes; * Volunteer to participate in this clinical trial with signature of the informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: * History of eye injury or intraocular surgery or ocular trauma; * Clinically abnormal slit-lamp findings; * Abnormal fundus examination; * Presence of ocular diseases such as cataract, glaucoma, fundus pathology, ocular trauma, manifest strabismus, or any other condition affecting 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 in a drug clinical trial within 3 months or a device clinical trial within 1 month prior to enrollment; * Participation in any myopia control clinical trial within the past 3 months and a history of myopia control interventions (e.g., orthokeratology, atropine); * Only one eye meeting the inclusion criteria; * Inability to attend regular ophthalmic examinations.
