New app aims to stop Kids' eyes from getting worse during screen time
NCT ID NCT07390500
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
The DYMOND study is testing a digital app called TrackSight that may slow myopia (nearsightedness) in children aged 6 to 12. The app uses eye-tracking to keep central vision clear while slightly blurring the edges of the screen, based on principles that influence eye growth. About 150 kids in Israel and Hong Kong will use the app during normal screen time for 12 months to see if it safely slows the worsening of their eyesight.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- TrackSight digital medical application (device)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a non-invasive, screen-based way to slow myopia progression in children, reducing the need for stronger glasses later.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 150 participants, so results may not apply to all children. The effect may be small or not better than no treatment.

Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 6-12 years -. Diagnosed with myopia: cycloplegic spherical or spherical equivalent (SER) between -0.75D and -5.00D, astigmatism ≤ -1.50D, anisometropia \< 1.50D * Visual acuity 20/32 or better (age-appropriate testing) in both eyes * Interocular VA difference ≤1.00 logMAR line * Subject in general good health and able, as per investigator decision, to comply with study visits and protocol procedures * The subject is using digital devices for at least 1 hour/day regularly according to parental report * Signed informed consent by legal parent/guardian and assent approval -. Currently wearing single vision refractive correction Exclusion Criteria: * Past or concurrent use of any other myopia treatment (e.g., atropine, orthokeratology, myopia control glasses/lenses) * Eye diseases or abnormality, developmental conditions, or past ocular surgeries or any other condition which could potentially affect refraction or AL progression according to the investigator's judgement * Current or prior history of manifest strabismus, amblyopia, or nystagmus * Subject cannot pass eye tracking calibration in at least 50% of cases, or cannot be tracked in at least 50% of the time during a screening eligibility test * Current or previous use of bifocal lenses, progressive-addition lenses, or multi-focal contact lenses * Premature gestational age ≤32 weeks or birth weight \<1500g.
