Can special lenses slow nearsightedness in kids?
NCT ID NCT07253064
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests two types of eyeglass lenses designed to slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children aged 6 to 13. Over 6 months, researchers will measure changes in eye length and thickness to see how the lenses affect eye growth. The goal is to find a better way to manage myopia in kids.
