Special lenses may curb worsening nearsightedness in kids
NCT ID NCT07698977
First seen Jul 13, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether D.I.M.S. glasses, which have special lenslets that create blur in the peripheral vision, can slow the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) in children aged 6 to 15. Participants wear the glasses while awake and visit the clinic every six months for eye exams and measurements of eye length. The researchers also track time spent outdoors and screen time to see if these factors affect myopia progression.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- D.I.M.S. (Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments) glasses
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a non-invasive way to slow myopia progression in children, reducing the need for stronger prescriptions and lowering the risk of severe eye problems later in life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study, not a randomized trial, so results may not apply to all children. The glasses may not work for everyone, and long-term effects are still being studied.

Who is studied
Participants (between 6 and 15 years of age) are wearing myopia progression treatment , namely D.I.M.S. lenses while they are awake. The wear these glasses to correct refractive error and to slow down myopia progression. At enrollment the refractive error measured under cycloplegia, expressed as spherical equivalent must be: between -0.50 Dsph and -10.0 Dsph.
