Special lenses aim to halt rapid vision decline in kids
NCT ID NCT05888805
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests two types of special glasses (DIMS and D2 lenses) to see if they can slow down worsening nearsightedness in children whose vision is getting worse quickly. About 59 children will wear these glasses for 4 years, and researchers will measure changes in their eyesight and eye length every 6 months. The goal is to find a better way to control myopia progression without surgery or daily eye drops.
