New study tests best glasses for kids with wandering eyes and nearsightedness
NCT ID NCT07642934
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of special glasses (DIMS and DOT) to control nearsightedness in children aged 6 to 12 who also have intermittent exotropia (a type of eye misalignment). Researchers want to see which lens works better and whether the glasses affect eye coordination. The study involves 120 children and will measure changes in eye length and vision over time.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Participants aged 6 to 12 years (6 ≤ age ≤ 12 years). Written informed consent from legal guardians is mandatory. 2. Patients with basic-type intermittent exotropia (IXT) meeting all the following criteria: 1. Intermittent or constant exotropia at the distance of 6 meters, and intermittent exotropia or esophoria at the near distance of 33 centimeters; 2. Distance exodeviation ≥ 10 prism diopters (PD) measured via the prism and alternate cover test (PACT); 3. The difference between near and distance deviation ≤ 10 PD. 3. Based on cycloplegic spherical equivalent (SE), the myopic refractive error of both eyes ranges from -6.0 D to -0.5 D. 4. The logMAR value of monocular distance best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) measured by the ETDRS chart is ≤ 0.2, and no amblyopia is present. 5. Parents and children are willing to participate in this clinical trial and can complete the entire study protocol. 6. Children have healthy eyes without organic ocular diseases. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Participants who have worn myopia control glasses or received other myopia interventions, including low-concentration atropine and phototherapy instruments, within the past 6 months (excluding DIMS and DOT glasses). 2. Those with severe systemic diseases or cognitive impairment that hinders follow-up attendance and clinical examinations. 4\. Subjects with astigmatism of ≥ 2 diopters (D) in either eye after cycloplegia; individuals enrolled in other interventional trials. 5\. Patients with active ocular inflammation in either eye. 6. Those diagnosed with ocular diseases or presenting with clinically significant abnormalities on ophthalmic examinations. 7\. Participants are currently receiving visual function training or other clinical interventions for intermittent exotropia. 8\. Individuals who decline to complete the 1-year follow-up period.
