Do special glasses keep working after kids stop wearing them?
NCT ID NCT05893979
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study follows 90 children who previously wore special spectacle lenses to slow nearsightedness (myopia). After stopping the lenses, researchers measure how much their vision changes over 12 months. The goal is to see if the benefits of the lenses last after use ends.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Spectacle lenses (myopia control device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors understand whether the benefits of myopia-control lenses last after children stop wearing them.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, observational follow-up study with no control group, so results may not apply to all children. It only measures short-term changes over 12 months.
